    Two F-15 Eagles just did a flyby at Duxford.

    Interestingly ‘Sagitarius’ is my star sign, so if I was superstitious I might see that as a good omen.

    Steve, just read your stars mate.. and it advises you to donate £100,000 to a project named after your star sign. Just glad i’m a Libran..:D

    As a cockpitfest virgin – can you elucidate what is actually on offer?

    I have been experimenting with painting on surplus and dented fuselage parts.

    You hav’nt been painting swastikas on bits of Dornier by any chance have you…:D

    also if you put the two together, the Tu-144 will look like the ugly sister……………………..with a moustache 🙂

    …yes quite possibly, but for me it is far more fascinating to look at. But then again i like the Wyvern.. enough said.!:p

    There is no way you’re going to see a Tu-144 alongside a Concorde, you’re dreaming…

    …why it would take unimaginable audacity and imagination…..and could only be accomplished by a race of supermen! :rolleyes:

    Au contrair… think you will find this exact situation exists in Germany. Just wish it was here instead.!;)

    Going slightly off topic for a moment i must admit from a personal viewpoint i would love to have seen a TU-144 flown over to the UK and preserved next to a Concorde.. both fantastic feats of engineering and design.
    And as we are talking airliners would’nt it be great if the last surviving airworthy Viscount was flown home to maybe Bruntingthorpe, and kept live in the same way as the Comet..!

    After watching it again, i wonder if the crew suddenly realised they had no elevator control.. as when it comes to a halt the camera zooms in on the cockpit and one of the control columns is getting some serious stick.!

    I have somewhere a photo of a Buchon in one of Duxfords hangars, taken during filming, that was involved in some sort of accident.. possibly a ground loop. If i can find it again i will post it.

    There was an ex RAF Comet preserved.. in a national museum.. in this country.. and look what happened to that.
    As i have said before its no good doing nothing until its virtually too late. If people on here really wanted to see this aircraft preserved then why did’nt anyone get the wheels in motion before now.. regardless of how long the base had before closure. Like the Victor at Marham, the Phantom at Brampton, and all others like them.. its a gate guard and as such always under threat of scrapping.

    Do please prove me wrong.. but as regards actually doing something about saving this, it sounds like too little too late to me.!!
