    Now having the BBMF flyover the opening ceremonies while the German team makes its entrance would be just rubbing it in…:D

    Reminds me of that Top Gear episode were they faces the germans and they arrive in T9 Spitfires 😀

    Especially if, by some bizarre coincidence, a band were to be playing Eric Coates’ splendid “Dambusters March” somewhere in the immediate vicinity……. :diablo:

    And the Battle Of Britian theme aswel :diablo: I was going to say Vulcan Bomber with the Reds but that wont go well with Argentina. :rolleyes:

    Hey Paul, I think you are one of the great British bassists and I’m proud as hell of ya !:D;)

    As for the Red Arrows, are they really booked this far ahead :

    Well by 2012 , they will have a new set of pilots by then.though this one wont be making it. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1054687/Pictured-The-dramatic-scene-Red-Arrows-Hawk-jet-crash-landed-smashed-RAF-base.html .Well I hope they are at the 2012 games I was going to say with the BBMF Lanc & Vulcan but that would be a bit too much to ask for.

    If you say so…. :rolleyes:

    Yeah because everything I say is ;):D Cant belive you dont like Star Wars , Your not a Star Trek fan are you?:confused:

    With a mean surface temperature of minus 150°C, 300mph winds, and the continuous emission of really intense radiation, it wouldn’t be interesting for very long …. :diablo:

    Oh just like a normal day then:D

    Just when you think it can’t get any worse….. 🙁

    At least we get to see the Christmas Doctor Who 😀

    Over Hildenborough Kent today about 2.45pm –

    First an invasion striped Spitfire (too far to see better details) followed by a four ship formation of TFC’s P-40, P-39 and Corsair formating behind a modern blue/white twin engine with high T tail.

    Any ID on the Spit or the modern aircraft?

    Well if its the one I am thinking off then it would of been either Mk.IX PL344 or if its was a grey colour then it would off been Rolls Royce PR.XIX the Modern plane its not a RAF Beech King Air at all?

    Mmm The fact that Jupiters a gas giant, you’d have more chance trying to walk on water:D
    Phil

    Well not land on Jupiter but to fly in with the clouds and the red spot that would be intresting, I think after Mars all the planets are gas so looks like we have to go to Mercury and get a sun tan :rolleyes: But its funny that its not either been working for two weeks and its already broken down magnet failure 😀

    Oh and Dazman Star Wars is A brilliant film 😎
