Well, I’m not sure what you mean by “people like me” being the reason you don’t make aviation programs. You made a statement that the Spitfire passed over your heads at 50′. I said I did not believe your statement, based upon the visual evidence, and my experience as a warbird pilot who has made low passes.

But, as you seem to want to make this personal why don’t we just let the members of this forum decide. Below is a still frame from the video, with the prop disc “added” in the computer.

You be the judge…

It wasn’t 50′ I was with OFMC at the time and I remember the shoot well.
As Scooner was doing a lot of filming with OFMC at the time and i even helped him out when he filmed the rebuild of 434.

I remember visiting DX a while back, just after the Lancaster had been finished, and noticing that someone had driven something into the port tail fin – there was a most interesting scrunched patch about six inches long in the bottom of the lovely new paintwork. Jonathon, ‘oo was it? I think we should be told!

The above happened when the Lanc was being moved, at the time I was working for one of the private owners and when we came out of 3 hanger the Lanc had been pushed into one of the big waste bins they had at the time in front of the tower (accidently I might add). most of the people involved still work at DX, I’m sure if you ask around they will let you know who it was, I really couldn’t let you have the names, my arms could be twisted perhaps ?????????????? :diablo:

Happy birthday Mr Patterson, enjoy the day.

just out of interest, PM was still using a cartridge start at the time.
