    Russ’s project is I believe a bi-plane as for the book the original publisher wasn’t interested in an updated copy, I must learn Japanese!!!!!! However for pictures this book is far better than the first.

    Yes Russ is still involved with aviation, he has a project on the go at the moment something German I believe. Another book was published complete with colour pictures and including the rebuild after the accident and move to Hendon, unfortunately it’s in Japanese ISBN- 499-22800-X.
    Sadly Ian is no longer with us he was diagnosed with cancer and passed away before Black6 was moved to Hendon

    Yes I took the the pictures Mark was flying Black 2 as already mentioned. I believe Dave Southwood flew Black 6. PM631 and PZ865 were on the other side of the Lanc It was all arranged the week before the show I also have video footage somewhere of both Bf109’s taken from a minicam bolted to the flare chute ram on the Lanc.

    I must disagree the Bf109 is NOT a difficult aircraft to fly it’s the take off and landing thats the problem

    And yes it would be nice to see a 109 display again

    Sorry about that, there has been a change with the servicing cycle it used to be 6yrs for a major but because of the hours we do each year it is now 8yrs so we are going to change the a/c paint scheme every 4yrs starting with AB.This only applies to the Spitfires at the moment The Spits that have gone past the 4yr point will stay as they are untill major they are MK, PM and P7 although we are thinking about changing the code letter for the 07 season hope this helps
