Did we really expect anything else? This is what sells papers, when I see the Sun, and others, I seriously wonder why anybody buys them at all, but they are the best sellers, are people’s lives so empty they need this drivel, or am I an arrogant snob? That’s a rhetorical question by the way.

If they bother to report the investigation findings it will be tucked away at the bottom of page n.

At least when and if the pilot recovers and recollects the details of what happened, we will know what happened and the speculation will be ended.

Let’s hope when, but considering the extreme trauma it is quite possible nothing will be remembered.

Sorry Charlie only entered your name when I didn’t type quick enough, I know you new from your contributions to the Vulcan thread.

BBC are saying that the Strikemaster ” routine is being restricted” for the Dartmouth Royal Regatta. Not sure how an airshow at Dartmouth works.

Who has authorised the Reds to enter their display by flying in over the crowd, and why do they want to do this?

I am sure if the CAA asked the military aircraft not to perform certain manoeuvres that they would comply.

I can’t believe “social media” or here. People are already saying the restriction apply to the Reds and Typhoons and BBMF. What bit of civilian (as in CAA) owned vintage jets do people not understand?

It is really that hard to understand? This Civil Aviation Authourity (CAA) ruling applies to…civil aircraft. The Hawks are…military aircraft.

I think the poster I commented on and myself understood that, what is of interest is when does an aerocraft become Vintage and does it differ between in military service and civilian ownership.

Hunters are still in use both here and in the States in connection with development work but are privately owned. Do we know why the one in the States crashes a while ago?

I do not think you have thought this through hampden98. I am sure others will be along to explain why.

As well as a different time; different people much more mentally robust.

Totally different world and spectators had survived the war. I would think people had a very different view on “risk” then let alone h & s.

. A sedate remainder of the season for XH558 beckons.

I think that was already a given and now a certainty.
(Sorry bit slow just catching up)

It puts our discussion on the Vulcan thread into a whole new light.
