must admit that Hamlyn flight doesn’t go over many airfields. Thought they initially were going over West Malling but looking at that route no where near unless they might zigzag and that line is indicative rather than actual flight route.

A good outcome, all things considered.

It was a mercy that this was not one of the joy-riding fleet two seaters which are now flying very frequently with various operators since the CAA granted approval.
Twice the headcount equals twice the risk, of course.

I take it you don’t fly or drive or do anything that isn’t risk free?

This accident does not involve a twin seat and fatalities but a single seat with a successful landing after engine failure.

The remark about the twin seat passenger flight is pointless and is no different from other private or commercial travel. We don’t see all flights being cancelled after an commercial crash with hundreds of fatalities using your quote but changing the number ‘280 passengers 280 the risk of course’.How stupid a comment was that!

After every incident or accident with a fatality or not in thus case, there are always people wanting to come out with smart Alec comments. Just keep options to yourself unless they are constructive and relevant.

You can also fly in a mustang if you want which there is only one over here and nothing to compare with in terms of safety. In the states it’s endless.

Dan is a superb experienced pilot and am glad he is ok. I for one would like him to be piloting on my flight.

If she is where was she assembled? test flight could be tomorrow morning I guess.

My tickets already arrived, nice relaxing day at the little airfield with close flying being my very local aerodrome. Then off to DX on the sunday 🙂

I was one of the very fortunate to meet him on the BOB 70th anniversary flight with a few of the other few. he was a very spritely chap and seemed very approachable. He will be missed down here with the BOB museum.

I wonder if John Romain be interested to get one flying. He could do with the parts if nothing else.

Bit of an event here, JR has just landed the buchon after his engine blew. Landing safely without incident cutting engine once touchdown.

Black smoke in the air and tonnes of oil on stbd side. She was coughing and spluttering as she came out a b roll.

Looks like Dan to me in that close up. Manston’s displays were always superb, nice and close and the manovers constantly flowing.
