Interesting that this is being discussed on Historic? Exactly 365 days ago Concorde was still very much an in service airliner and operating it’s 2nd last day of commercial service (sniff). :p

Brand new aircraft or rusty old buckets of crap.

Concorde was ALWAYS a historic aircraft.

Even when it was first built.

Also agree with everything Radararchive had said about East Fortune.

Just wish they would wake up and smell the coffee really.

Trust me I know from dealing with aforementioned MOD.

The place to contact is the local police station and from there they will contact the MOD to deal with it or the local police firearms team will come and take it away in a steel ammo box.

If there is a lot of it the MOD would probably want to investigate why there is so much though.

Always been interested,

I was at Strathallan on a show day but seriously too young to remember. I do however remember being taken through an aircraft cabin???

Dont know what it was though. Definately Strathallan though.

Got seriously into planes a few years ago on reading Johnnie Johnson’s Wing Leader.

Hooked ever since.

Crazy Mainer,

I have only skimmed the surface of what the other posts said as I dont have time to read all of them at the moment but I would urge you to stay with us because your opinions and views are very important to all of us and those who ask or wish you to leave becasue of this need to get a life.

I understand where you are coming from on the “New Build” aspect of things but to have a true warbird you really need a substanial part of the aircrfat there already. I belive it has been suggested that a firewall or dataplate section can be enough to start a build.

Does anyone know more on this subject.

But what is really wrong in Britain is there are those who do and those who dont. Those who do (own or rebuild Warbirds) have enough money to make it happen. And those who Dont mostly dont have the money to rebuild or fly warbirds but we do research them or collect part etc etc. Hell I have even known a couple of guys to dress up in period flying kit and reenact scenes of days gone by.

But it all comes down to MONEY in the end which a lot of us dont have.

Sorry to disappoint you Merlin 3945 but the Sea Fury and Sea Hawk have both vanished from the list of flying aircraft for Leuchars 😡

Alas it was not to be.

Thanks for that Bucc driver.

I like the little bit of small writing in the bottom of the list

Aircraft Participation may be subject to change.

Im sure that wasnt there before but hey thats airshow life for you.

I notice on the civlian flying front we have picked up a pitts and 2 yaks great for me to watch as this is my favourite type of flying “aerobatic”.
