    There’s just been a preview on BBC of a report coming up on “Look East” after 6:30pm.

    Sorry Mark, in 1934 the Macchi MC.72 (see my Italian Schneider seaplanes thread) took the world record for seaplanes at 709 kph, which by my reckoning is close to 450 mph, long before the Corsair had even been thought of!

    But wasn’t the MC.72 a twin (in-line contra prop)?

    But it is between the cones…

    I suppose they were trying to have a mini RIAT! Perhaps it belongs to the Ministry of de Fens :rolleyes:

    Good job you managed to get it off the A17, the traffic’s bad enough there at the best of times 😀

    Surely there is a case of double standards here. Why has no mention been made of changing the name “Jaguar” as it could be seen to cause offence to dog lovers?

    Thanks for the comment Les. It was taken at the 1974 Battle of Britain display at Biggin Hill. Here’s another (analogue) pic fron the same display:

    That post flight staged interview is magic. It’s as though they made it up as they went along:D

    The CF100 definitely didn’t fly at the ’75 show. I took this a year after in ’76:

    These photos all have one major downfall. The actual aircrew were much younger in most cases than todays reenactors. Kids of their age wouldn’t be let near valuable specimens like the warbirds illustrated here:rolleyes:
