£10,000,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me thinks a decimal place in da wrong place:rolleyes:

Can I just add a big ‘up’ (my daughter taught me that…Yoof speak) to the organisers in producing the best show of 2006 IMHO (RIAT & Legends zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, eat your heart out!).

Looking forward to 2008:D

Isn’t that Fury beautiful?? Now, what do we all need to do to persuade them to get it back into the air and onto the airshow circuit??

Wait….. It won’t be long before a real Hawker Fury emerges from the Aero Vintage/Historic Aircraft Collection workshops. G-BKBB is a replica.

As for the Viima, it was once G-BAAY based in the UK and played the part of the dastardly Hun’s red aircraft in ‘Aces High’ (1976). It would be fab to see it here again.

Here’s how its done……..All poppies dropped over the Memorial 😎

Having the doors off meant it was easier to get the poppies out, but bloody cold for pilot and ‘bomb aimer’.

The other thing I don’t have a warm feeling about is this:

£1000 buys you a share in the Newcastle Jet Provost Group (£1 share, £999 joining fee)

Joining fee? Why not just say it’s £1000 a share? Don’t you have to own at least 5% of the jet if it’s operated as a company and you are a shareholder? (Article 130 of the ANO)

That means G-BVEZ is only worth £20.00 :rolleyes:

Training: Between 5 & 7 hours to convert onto the JP to go solo.

For a 100hr PPL!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😮

I know its a very simple jet, and that it’s well within the capability of most ‘capable’ PPLers but 5 to 7 hrs for a 100hr total time pilot? Even if it took him/her say, 60 hrs to go solo, with only 40hrs P.1? What insurance deal have you got?

Apparently, in a completly new PR angle, the new sponsor will be doing something politically gender correct and will be supplying MEN to ride on the wing…In a blatant show of European solidarity, they have secured the services of four retired miners from Eastern Europe who will start their training in the spring. :rolleyes: The increased weight ‘on top’ will mean that the aircraft can no longer transit to far off displays, and Vic, Martyn and Mike will no longer have something to look up at on those display flights…… 😀

they will use ALL FOUR Stearmans for EVERY show

I’m reliably informed that this is not the case. 😉
