    Nice link and story but probably belongs in modern military.

    Yes there is an airworthy privately owned Vietnam vet A-4C Skyhawk owned/restored by Skyhawk Ventures. So possibly this one!

    Spent a very enjoyable couple of hours there today, and even my non-aviation minded 13 yr old son enjoyed it, so thanks to Jason and the team for making it possible (and good to meet you too Jason). Also took the time to sign up for membership.
    I believe the museum only opened last year, and in this day and age of dwindling aviation museums and displays this place really does need our help and support to survive and continue to grow.

    I’m no photographer but here’s a small selection of what was on display.

    For crying out loud!

    Who could write something like that and then live with themselves after?

    Moggy 😡

    Totally agree. Have to say i saw that comment myself and didn’t go looking any further!

    Have to say i agree.. would love to see a ‘For Sale/Swap’ thread on here, restricted solely to aeronautica. And to help stop people joining the forum just to advertise then maybe restrict usage only to those with say 100 posts or more!

    Just a thought.

    Might be best if you re-read the previous posts again, as she is not in the auction but up for sale in the normal way :). Also even if she does sell it doesn’t mean that it will become common knowledge straight away!

    Lets just hope that whatever the outcome she stays in the UK.

    Wise advice :). Because once the sprog arrives you wont be able to afford to buy anything. 😀

    I think we are talking ballpark £1.5m – £2m. I’m sure i’ve seen the price somewhere but admittedly i dont know for sure!

    Oh dear thats not good. The landlord says the rent hasn’t been payed, yet he has returned cheques sent to pay the rent. And then you read about the development potential of the site and just maybe things become a bit clearer 🙁

    Don’t you just love new posters who come here saying that they know something we don’t know then refuse to tell you what it is because it may just dent their over inflated sense of moral and intellectual superiority. :rolleyes:

    It will be whatever it is.

    The same could be said for several other threads stretching back, and not just by ‘new’ posters either.!

    I think the Hawker Demon is up for sale, rather than up for auction. But its being ‘handled’ by the same auction house!

    How long did it take from the moment it departed normal flight? 4-5 seconds before it hit?

    Bruce

    Quite so.. and i wonder if he would of had time to even think of calling mayday considering how quickly events unfolded.

    Sad to hear of another fatality. Sadly it may not be the last!

    Have to admit its so difficult to know what to and what not to believe, with so many different reports, stories and websites on the go.
    The discussion that Bruce highlighted seems to be the best informed so far.

    Also of note is a report that stated that a mayday was received from GG just prior to the accident, but so far no-one else has confirmed or picked up on that. Cannot remember where i saw it either!
