    often wondered if it was Ray Hanna, is he the one in the light blue shirt, any idea of what became of him after the Lizzie rolled over?

    believe this to be P-51D Mustang G-PSID Ex 44-63788 Operated by Doug Arnold and later TFC also believe it to have crashed at La Roche-sur-Yon, France on 24.7.98.

    Yes I have sat out side an airshow and watched without paying, 1979 Weston Park was the last one when i was 11.

    I have been to Fairford, Waddington, Old Warden, Little Gransden, Cosford, Duxford etc this year and the amount of people watching from outside is growing and no, do you really think that one person expressing an opinion against freeloaders would be listened to.

    2 points if you wish

    1, The Sabre pilot at one of the shows at Duxford, I think it was September called the tower to complain of people walking along the taxi way that had walked across the fields, caused him to be concerned, if he is saying there is a problem then it is an issue. If this person had been injured do you think the papers would report accurately?

    2, by default of been on this forum i am an enthusiast and understand that most acts are brought in and not given freely, is it £10,000 for the Vulcan? Now if a thousand people sit outside (probably more at Cosford) who do not pay the entry fee, the show makes a loss and then is cancelled where do we go next?

    I pay my money, it goes to the organisers, they make a profit, i go again. My choice. No air show, i dont go.

    At a glance thought the 1st shot of the Lanc was dropping an upkeep
