How many A-10s will the USAF have in service after the upgrades and will they be searching the museums for suitable candidates? Hand it back Duxford!

The A-10 seems to be able to survive high damage could the F-35 and other fast movers do so?

Have any plans been published as to the future of the control tower, buildings, runways and the rest of the airfield?

If the site had been in America the place would have been fully restored and opened as a museum. The association with “Band of Brothers” would have been enough to generate funding.

Thank you for the photos.

I thought it was a good show too, rare to see the HH-53, HH-60, MC-130P and MC-130H acutally flying.

Some of the ground displays were interesting too – police dogs, bomb and missile display. Not forgetting the chance to buy those patches.

Milldenhall Airshow started from something not much bigger.

Great news I was wondering what was going on with the Broncos.

Come on Duxford let’s have a Vietnam era show.

The Bronco (when its done), Spads, Huey’s (well two anyway), A-26, Bearcat, Corsairs, Jungie Sea King to play the Jolly Green part and what have you. The light aircraft people could provide the O-2 and O-1.

Oh, yes and the rollout of the restored Thud.;)

Just checking. Is that reference actually IWM Duxford?

Which aircraft is booked to display?

What a hard choice, as a work of art it would have to be Hunter F.6.

Is it true are UK sky’s really going to be graced with a Buccaneer?

What a superb sight! A big thankyou to all involved in what must be difficult work keeping four Lightnings, the Buccs and Hunters airworthy.

In this time of Political Correctness I think the lack of an airworthy Lightning is against my Human Rights. One should be provided immediately or failing that I should be given a ticket to SA straightaway. The lack is making me depressed. :diablo: :rolleyes:

On a more serious note, if a team did approach the design holders and the CAA; surely it would not be beyond them to construct a solution?

He has appeared in some other interesting programmes other than Top Gear and Brainiac.
Get well soon Richard.

I think the implication of the ‘for sale’ advert, and the other one in FlyPast advertising for more classic maintenance staff, is that the flight is on offer, but is very much intended to be offered as a complete package, a ‘going concern’.

I hope the collection can say together; not often one can see such aircraft together as static exhibits in a museum let alone all airworthy.

Air Atlantique Classic Flight provided most of the non-single engine aircraft at the recent Duxford display and they were extra reasons why I went.

Only if the current French owners give up the moulds, as yet they havn’t so the chances of re-printing rare ones to help boost sales (TSR-2) have long gone.

John.

My understanding is that the TSR-2 moulds are in China.

Looks like Hornby are interested in purchasing Humbrol.

That should round off the portfolio nicely.

Hornby have experience with the French government as they also now own Jouef (French outline model trains).

Fingers crossed.

Good news about the Vulcan and thank you for the photos. Looks like no news footage of the rollout on BBC 6 O’clock news. Has any other station shown it yet?

Ironic that the Vulcan might have been pushed out of the news running order by Airfix’s problems. :rolleyes: The news had a very long report about Airfix.

I guess that the Vulcan has not been fitted with reverse thrust and that the smoke was from the tug?

I suppose the “real” work begins now as the engineers remove all the large panels and replace the operational parts. My other guess is that the covers over the cockpit windows hide the fact that the cockpit is empty?

Has anyone any news of the people that had redundancy notices – have they been offered their jobs back?
