It’s all to do with what the CAA will allow on a UK reg. As Yak11Fan says, no aerobatics in a UK registered 450hp conversion….G-IIIG was a standard 220hp version and also had CAA approval for ‘wing seats’

The rigs are approved and STC’d AFAIK…

Shame N54922 is being fitted with a cowling, always the best one IMHO, but a 8ugger to roll with only 2 ailerons……:D

Watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Brought it home just how brave & courageous people really are in times of war. Must admit I became a bit emotional at one point,very rare for me

I think we can excuse the mistakes in the editors room, as I ‘m sure that most TV production people are not as pedantic as some of us. Yes they were mistakes, yes it annoys me, but we cant all be perfect.

EH

At 10:00 this morning, a Harvard of undefinable colour flew across here, Bocking, heading NE.
10 mins later, my missus phoned me from her stables near Wethersfield to report the passing of the same plane heading north, she said it was a sort of buff colour with large black letters under the wings.
At 14:00 I was attending a site meeting at Haslingfield, a few miles north of DX, this was interrupted as a Spitfire in close formation with what looked to be the same Harvard flew over heading south towards DX, the Spit looked to be grey in colour. As we watched, the Spit did a very tight and steep turn
away to port and both a/c dissapeared below the trees.

Harvard G-DDMV from Kent on a photo shoot with Spitfire G-MKVB. The Harvard is still at Duxford in hangar 4

Blimey, that seems cheap…When Spitfires and the like go for close to or over £1 million…

How about a forum whip round, and then we can give it a decent colour scheme..

PS, I’ll fly it for you all 🙂

The Utterly Butterly Stearman team appeared at Flying Legends in 1999, so not so much of a revelation is it? :rolleyes:

As Moggy says, it’s their train set; if you don’t like the line up, then don’t go..

Duxford good today, Spitfire Tr9, Yellow Harvard, Spitfire Mk Vb, Cosmic Wind and HAC Nimrod all out on the line.

ISTR the Tiger Club has/had a CAA Exemption from the relevant ANO Article, Article 11 I think, bought in when the law changed sometime in the 70s/80s? There are several conditions and I believe one of those conditions is that the aircraft are series production built – which is why they are all Rollason Turbulents….

I think they are the only club offering single seat aircraft for hire

Jeez!!! Only a few days into 2007 and already we’re speculating about Legends.

Just turn up, enjoy and then go home amazed at what has turned up (or not, as the case may be):D
