Affirm it was Mr Denny. He would never of made it in today at Biggin, gusting up to 42knots!

Thank you for the info 😎

(1500 HOURS) TA805 Kent Spitfire back at Biggin from Duxford. Lovely run and break to land R21.

Sorry for being a pain but do you know who the pilot was???

Didn’t see the programme, but met him at Dux recently and although we weren’t introduced, the totty on his arm would suggest otherwise:)

There are rumors he dating that young model that was in the last series of Top Gear how true or not I don’t know.

I thought it was a brilliant programme though I did not need airfix to know what a hawker hunter is . I dont get Airfix but Corgi aircraft models that are already completed 😀 .Just wondering is that where the Grace spitfire is based now at RAF Bentwaters also where abouts do they keep the airfix spitfire at RAF Cosford?

And one last thing does anyone know what plane James May owns??

Shuttleworth Sea Hurricane
Peter vacher MK1
HAC Hurricane II
Hangar 11 Hurricnae IIb

No Spitfire but the Kennet Seafire and Syraider were on show

Thank you for the Info dave 😎 I guess that was the last time you saw the t Kennet Skyraider before her new paint job? :confused:

Nothing wrong with Spitfires Stangman 🙂 Some more nice shots wish Peter would paint his P-40 did that type server with the RAF if so would look good in RAF Derset colours 😀

Not wanting to appear to be fighting TVOC’s corner here, but the RAF manpower was certainly not detached to TVOC for free, the RAF were remunerated. TVOC certainly had a good deal, as it was on a fixed price basis, but don’t be fooled into thinking that it was a ‘free gift’ from the Air Force!!

As goes the wage bill, the Engineers are certainly not on an extravagant wage. Think more mid-upper 20k. Office and hangar support staff, less still. As goes Management, draw your own conclusions….. however, I’m sure that you could find much better value for your money.

Are you on about my post about XH558 staying at Brize rent free??

Nice shots there like the BAC1-11 shots are they taken at the Bournemouth Flying club cafe?? also why is the Thomsonfly aircraft in white :confused: Shame about the 737-200’s do you work there to get close to them?

Hi Tarkey, yep I believe it is the Hangar 11 one, based at North Weald. Pete Teichman (Spelling anyone??) flew it in.
