LOL, the thought of PA474 being sprayed ‘Desert Pink’ and sent out to the Gulf!!! 😮 😮 😮 😮
Yes, very sad; wasn’t the…erm…’pilot’ the first ever to be prosecuted by the CAA for recklessly endangering the aircraft, or something on those lines?
Whatever, he took years of beautiful hard work, and literally threw it away. It wasn’t even an accident-just sheer stupidity. He attempted something he shouldn’t have, got it totally wrong, got into a panic, reacted wrongly, then just SAT THERE and let it all happen around him.
Grrrr! 😡
You’ve missed the point here mate; this is for aircraft that are currently airworthy, that could fly together but to date, haven’t, not for things that are languising in museums etc!
Re. the Hurricanes, I’d say, give it time; I think we’ll see more appear as the years roll on now, so you never know!
Robbo, don’t forget ‘FlylewtentMyChattertun’, the pilot… 😉
We’re huge Audrey fans here, so I can’t lose when I watch ‘Always’! A lovely, underrated little film.
I like the Prime Time videos ‘Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight’ and ‘Classic Warplanes Of The BBMF’, along with their three videos on ‘Just Jane’. (‘Ow many tuns was that, Robbo?!)
I also like the ‘Pilot’s Eye’ video on the Lanc-bloody excellent stuff.
Nice to think that the old girl is about to clear her throat and sing again!
Damn shame about the H2S; she really needs one, and why on earth would BAE say no?
Very well summed up re. the ‘Sugar’ scheme there Fluffy; okay, so it’s my personal ‘dream scheme’, but that reasoning would work very well officially!
Just think of all the lovely merchandising that the RAFM could get out of it- promo posters, with ‘Sugar’ flying over the Museum…where ‘Sugar’ lives!
Mind you, as long as that lovely satin is kept, I don’t mind what it is! 😉
You didn’t say why the service has been put back? (Unless we’re not allowed to know!)
Let’s be realistic though, it’s only ever going to be in bomber colours.
😀
Yeah, I DO kinda know that, sadly…
:rolleyes:
It would look bloody brilliant in the air though, and would be great for the RAFM.
I’ll give you a lollipop if you tell me!
I thought it might be a little soon to start seriously talking about a scheme change, but yeesh! If I may ask, why has the service been put back?
Just had a butchers, it was actually only the 2000 season when she last appeared in new markings.
I must admit, I’ve lost track a bit-is it the end of this year she’s due a ‘major’, or the end of ’05? Fluffy?
Either way, she’s looked great in the current satin scheme; here’s looking forward to whatever the MoD choose for her next!
See, and I didn’t even mention the ‘Sugar’ word.
Until then.
Damn!
😉
Okay, you’ve all forced my hand; how about a free Susannah York with every order? 😉
