Well then, seems the coffin lid will be nailed shut on a number of shows, mainly those with roads near them, (ok a bit exaggerated) and the smaller ones who cannot afford the charge increases. In loving memory of them is all I can say.
Well whatever is happening in this chaos one thing is for sure, it’s shambolic.
Don’t get me wrong, I saw Shoreham, a horrific incident. Yes I want airshows safer, but not consigned to the past and legislated so much that there is no ruddy point any more!
hence why we/organisers must do something before this becomes even more farcical
Take your holidays in the UK?:rolleyes:
The CAA are not the enemy. They are basically highlighting the rules that already existed.
I might have read this wrong, but I was thinking about the charges etc imposed.
The CAA are not the enemy but a damned nuisance with this new legislation which is essentially attempting to make airshows a thing of the past, that, in my opinion is not on. and the opinion of many I’m sure.
I am pretty sure the report is accurate That it is a Lincoln Page, based on the just visible tail plane strut, the design of the tailskid and the wheel designed. The only other planes that could have had covered wheels were the SE5s or a Curtiss Jenny but the SE5s have a different tailskid design and no solid tail struts (at least which I can recall from film stills and from watching the film). The Jennys used were not painted white or any light colour which rules them out so I’m pretty sure it’s a Lincoln Page.
