    What I really hate are films / dramas that portray non commisoned ranks, particularly low ranking aircraft mechanics as incompetent idiots.

    Well we are aren’t we, thats why we work to the highest of saftey standards in order to show off these aeroplanes to you.

    Mind you some people seem to think aeroplanes tow themselves in and out of the shed, fix themselves and then pilots gets in and fly them.

    Some airshow commentators need to learn about this as well…..

    Just shows you, Bentwingbomber & Avro’s Finest know nothing about “Big Bristols”!

    Sooooo, ya bloody think so.

    54 ltrs of pure unadultarated power bolted on to the front of a Sea Fury – flying in formation with another Sea Fury. Thats Big Bristols….

    Not that Yank crap.

    Or if you want to be clever, The Bristol Type 167 Brabazon, that had eight.
    Lots of “Big Bristols”

    BRISTOL CENTAURUS – REAL BIG BRISTOLS.

    Stephen Grey flew the hawk down there and flew the Bearcat home.
    Nick Grey flew the P-51C down there and flew the Hawk home.
    Paul Bonhomme flew the Bearcat down and the Thunderbolt back.
    Carl Schofield flew the Thunderbolt down and the P-51C back home.

    She may be from the 70s, but she’s far better looking than some of the HOWLERS around now days.

    HS Andover E3A XS639

    I’m guessing it a very subtle hint :p , for your ah, um, former associate’s or friend’s Avro mate!! :rolleyes:

    Naaa,
    It’s actualy aimed at the tossers who now say we can’t, celebrate, remember etc, the lives of the guys who gave thier lives, so we can enjoy the way of life we have today.

    Not a bad idea though.

    Take care.

    A tenner says that it will NEVER fly.

    Any takers?

    All winnings to be donated to the Sally B Supporters Club.

    Sent my tenner to 558. Even if they don’t do it, they can have the tenner for trying. Either way Sally B aint avin it.
