Oh goody, will be able to see them at least 3 times (2x CO & shoreham). Add some fighters and that will be heaven. My son’s bday on the 17th whic he will be 1yr old. Wonder whther he will see a pair fly again in his lifetime.

The lady does seem to have been genuinely wing walking. I wonder what effect that would have on the airflow over the wings, on the ability of the aerofoil to generate lift?

My sympathies go to her two boys, I’m afraid I can have non for people who do such daft things as wing walking.

Regards

Ditto, Yes its sad that she died, but we have to look at the obvious here in that if you ‘choose’ to do a daft thing like this as a job then, im affraid law of averags will catch up eventually.

Wing walking and ‘wing walking’ are two different kettle of fishes. She could have slipped anyhow.

I remember not long ago in the states another guy slipped and died trying to go from a helicopter to a biplane.

I guess this is high risk entertainment with the consequences that go with it.

I may be harsh but its reality and this type of entertainment is not what I would say is part of our hobby/passion.

Not sure where your getting your wether reports from but hgoing by the met office its fine.

This is most sad, i met him on the BOB commemorative flight in 2010 and only say a few rows back, he seemed a pleasant chap and was very talkative in the foyer awaiting our flight. Blue skies sir, you will live long in the memory of your poems.

Thought he wasnt coming, that what her fb site said im sure. I wonder if she is only on static or will fly?

Whats the asterix for, aircraft that are actually displaying with the non asterix static?

Sounds like a total waste of time if only 3 aircraft flew. Im so so glad i didnt make the trip from Kent on sunday after much deliberation and reading the meteological reports. I took a look at the cloudbase on the net and forecast and thought better of it. Shame though as its run by a charity and they deserve a full house and complete display schedule.
