    Wasnt there a Gannet in someones garden just outside of Swindon, by a Roundabout I seem to remember – it would have been in the early 90’s?. I was sure it was mentioned on here before but I cant find any other listing for it.

    Does anyone remember a BBC series called the Squadron, according to Wiki it was aired in 1982 and a lasting memory is of a group of Drug Smugglers flying a small light aircraft as a Harrier slowly pulls up alongside and persuades them they would be better off landing ASAP.

    I’m sure someone said a Spitfire had crashed in my garden, just over there where I want to plant potatoes 🙂

    I know where you are coming from Rob, this is the sort of thing I would print off and leave lying around nearer to Christmas. 🙂

    Until you finish building a real one, this may look good on a shelf – unless you’ve already got one of course 🙂

    Not sure if it was the constellation mentioned above but earlier this morning there was a polished “back to metal” aircraft flew over Shoreham, West to East with what looked like a Corsair flying alongside but I could well be wrong.

    The programme didn’t say whether or not the people who had bought counterfeit goods had any recourse against the seller, could the police / trading standards do anything or was it simply a case of putting it down to experience?

    Thanks Phil, thats the clip I was looking for – I hadnt realised it was an audio rather than video clip but an excellent montage of photos to go with the commentary.

    Probably at Thunder City in South Africa. They have been trying to sell the fleet for sometime. Several videos on Utube.

    Thanks Mitch, this was a Yorkshire newspaper reporter who recorded the walk round, start up etc.

    This would be the engine recovery vid. 🙂

    What an incredibly clear bit of footage, the condition of the engines is excellent bearing in mind how long they were down there.

    A fascinating piece of TV, very informative and well worth watching.

    The airshow has been cancelled unfortunately. Seemingly they needed £65000 to run it and were only able to get about half of that. Any lottery winners out there?

    Thats a shame, I have many happy memories of Teeside Airshow in the 70’s when I lived up there – the only place I have ever seen a Lightning fly.
