The blue scheme looks very nice, the yellow is too bright in my opinion (which counts for nothing of course as it is the owners perogative what colour they paint the aircraft).

Is he the owner of TA805 at Biggin?

I thought the Tigercat was flying out of Duxford for the USA? Hence the long range tank beneath the fuselage.

Look on it this way – when was the last time anyone had the chance to see an airworthy Hurricane in the green/grey camouflage scheme with the earlier fuselage roundel?
Either way it looks pretty good, and I’m pleased that it is still staying in the UK.

Wow! 😮
‘Richthofen’s Circus’ returns 😉
Lovely pictures there, thank you for uploading them.

Having read the article in the local paper (Bromley Messenger), I would advise a bit of caution about this. Yes, there is to be a museum and heritage trail centred on the brick buildings that make up the West Camp at the airfield i.e. the stuff that survived the Battle of Britain.
But, there is a lot of stuff mentioned in the article that is purely commercial interest (well, it has to be funded somehow I suppose :rolleyes: ). One of the Grade 2 listed buildings is quoted as being ‘extended’ while the remaining bit of wall that was the triple bay Belfast type hangar, destroyed in August 1940, will be demolished to make way for a permanent access road. There are also some other non-listed buildings on the Control Tower side of the West Camp that it is proposed to demolish.

I guess it will be the Buchon from Duxford, but it would be a bit of a coup to get one of the EADS examples.

Opération Anthéor
* 1 Boeing B-17G
* 2 Douglas DC-3
* 1 P-51D Mustang
* 1 Focke-Wulf FW-190 ( ou Buchon )
Does this mean that Tom Blair’s FW-190 has been asked to attend, but that his Buchon will appear if the FW-190 can’t? Or am I putting two and two together and making seven?! 😀

Have to agree about the Emil and Cobra, they would make a superb ‘time capsule’ exhibit, if properly conserved.
The Fw189 on the other hand has already had a lot of work done on the fuselage section to make it airworthy. But, as the last known survivor, is returning it to flying condition the right course of action?

The old daying is true then – thunder always follows Lightning 😀
Thanks for sharing those Dave 🙂

Another aviation legend passes on. Blue skies Mr Henshaw.

Thinking about it logically, this means that people from the far east where the swastika means peace, could come to Europe and see the Nazi swastika and think it means good luck?

There is one hidden around the perimeter of Biggin Hill airport as well.

A Spitfire based at ‘The Bump’ again – brings a tear to the eye. Thank you Mr Monk! 😀
