    That echo is back again :D.

    Look forward to ‘hopefully’ seeing Foxy Lady flying this year. You can never have too many Navy types flying!

    Gipsy Six, I think “R”s to be exact.
    Flight time from Dux to OW would only be minutes so I dont se a Problem with her opperating from the larger area of Duxford. Be great to see her airborn again 🙂

    Seem to recall a statement years ago from OW saying that the Comet couldn’t operate from Duxford because the grass at Dx was not long enough. I found that hard to believe at the time but i don’t know the aircrafts operating limitations!

    Mk PR.9. I guess what could be called the ‘hot rod’ of the Canberra breed!

    Thanks CIRCUS 6. Have always liked both types, but the longer stroke undercart on the aeronavale Zephyr gives it a slightly better ‘stance’ in my opinion.

    Fouga 23 – In the flying pic i posted the arrester hook is down in what looks like a flyby. I always thought it was a drop down arrangement that could only be re-locked in the up position after landing. So are they hydraulically operated, or maybe have some sort of cable retraction system? Or was this a landing using an airfield arrester system maybe?

    Thanks. Looks to be two different aircraft from the pics and youtube clip. Would love to see one come to the UK for an airshow, such as Yeovilton.

    I’ll ask this question to the Forum. Knowing that three or possibly four Mosquitos will be flying around the world, possibly the UK, in the foreseeable future, irrespective of cost, pain or risk, which would you prefer to see in the UK – a flying Mosquito or a pristine ground running Hornet or Sea Hornet?

    Good point, and for me i’d prefer to go one better. A flying Sea Hornet everytime!
