Very sad news indeed. Meet him quite a few times over the past 5/10 years at various BBMF functions/do’s. First time I met him was at fighter pilot do at Lakenheath where we had a Spit on show during the meal and speeches. I remember he jumped straight into the cockpit and then we had a devil of a time to get him out again, firstly because he didn’t want to and secondly because he couldn’t.
Will be sorely missed by all at BBMF.

Unfortunately there will be no BBMF A/C involved as this is our weekend off, but the BBMF sales trailer will be there if interested.

It didnt have a problem with brakes at Fairford on Monday, the PR Spitfire did. Stormin was on the Lanc and they had to get him off to tend to the Spit, hence the delay.

Cheers but it doesn’t take me 30mins to get off the Lanc!!
Yes PS915 had a brake problem but I was already off the Lanc, and as it was then confirmed that PS had a big air leak so 2 of us stayed behind as the Spit pilot jumped on the Lanc and they went home. I later confirmed it was a brake bag change, which after a drive back to Coningsby to fetch spares we finished yesterday afternoon. PS is now OK and will return to home tomorrow via Cottesmore.

Perhaps they ought to change all the engines and do a major service on the airframe changing the maintenance crew once a week until the entire staff at Coningsby have been rotated through:D:D:D

:D:)
