Ex Italian T-6G MM54099 was stored with OFMC and was due for restoration. It became G-BRBC but was not completed. Present location unknown (this pic 1-4-88):

I believe this aircraft is being restored in the North hangars at Earls Colne

Beagle Terrier G-ASKJ also force landed on the M26 in the 80s, I’ve got a newspaper cutting somewhere.

I never knew he had so many aeroplanes.

After Googling his name, it seems the Americans ‘would like a word with him’:D

The tailchase at Legends is choreographed. Aircraft going East fly to the North of the Main runway, those going West south (or similar, cant remember which). Nobody overtakes. Spacing is kept by ‘lead & lag’ manoeuvres. Cant see a problem with it as it is, and opposition manoeuvres would only create more of a collision risk if a pilot became unsighted.

Seafuryfan. Are you a pilot by any chance?

G-BKPZ & G-BMZZ

Ok, I’ll be seeing him this week, I’ll ask him 😀

G-APNZ was a fine aeroplane, not because HRH flew it, just because I thought it flew the best of all the Tiger Club’s Turbs. It did win the Kings cup as well.

It was the back of the hangar at Headcorn, part restored but looking particularly sorry for itself, so should be rescued…

The terminal Z G-…Z registrations were continued by various Tiger Club members -Pitts G-BKKZ is an example. There are a fair number of others……

I think you’re reading a bit too much into this.. In this instance, it was not an out of sequence reg, but yes, Geoff Masterton, the original builder of the frame, was a Tiger club member. Coincidence and not intended.

if this display is as challenging to fly as it looks

No. In warbird display terms, that is not a particularly challenging sequence. Some pilots are known to use the longitudinal trimmer for vertical manoeuvres but I prefer to just fly the aeroplane and accept the stick loads. But then I have biceps like Charles Atlas.

I can remember driving around East Anglia and it was unusual NOT to see a crop sprayer in action during the summer months.

Disused airfields in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex were all used for Crop spray ops by local companies:

Miller Aerial Spraying
ADS(Aerial)
Peter Charles
Mindacre Ltd
Lincs Aerial Spraying
Harvest Air
CKS Air
Westwick Distributors

Most of the Pawnee glider tug aircraft in the UK today are ex crop sprayers from these companies.

Despite what appears on this forum, ‘bean counters’ in the MOD & Government really don’t consider the feelings of aviation enthusiasts when it comes to saving money… Unless it loses them votes.

2 Lancasters would be good to see in the air together. Lets face it, what are we going to bicker about on here when the Vulcan stops flying?

Will it be at Legends?:diablo:

Shame on you Duxford.

Moggy

“Shame” is a bit strong. They made an effort. Enough said. They could have closed for the day. Not everyone is anal enough to set their watches to UTC every day. One thing that has impressed me this year on these forums, is the amount of Remembrance day snobbery.

It’s the thought that counts, not the split second timing

Anyway – you got in for free so stop whining!

Hear Hear..

I don’t think it’s Bob Mitchell, but I do think its a younger Dai Heather-Hayes who did fly these aircraft.

He’s still an examiner at Perth

Are people today clueless?

Any thoughts?

I think today’s attitude with a lot of people is that they can go and do what they like. I took an aircraft to a show a few months back for static display with no fences round it and was amazed to see a father putting his young son in the cockpit, quite openly. When challenged, he thought nothing of it.

IMHO Fences all round, you can blame society for the lack of picture opportunities. I think you can also blame ‘elf and safety for cosseting people so much that they are incapable of deciding whats right and whats wrong. :rolleyes:

Passport Control – Check
Security – Check
Boarding gate – Check
Boarding on the aeroplane – Check
Count numbers boarding -Check

At least 5 checks could have prevented this; I think this sums up the inadequacies of the whole security/airport experience.:eek:
