I really enjoyed that, very well done, and with real enthusiasm.
They could have got some nice material on civi career, and the Ray Hanna era, but clearly there is a limit how much can be fitted in. Well done Paul Bonhomme, and Richard Grace.
I humbly retract my smart-**** predictions 😮 It was great to see G. Wellum, and that gun camera film, why, it has never looked fresher !
Thanks Canadair for a reasoned and credible overview on the possible timeline.
I can see nothing in content or motivation for anyone offence at, though some possible alternative technical interpretations would not be unexpected.
Sorry ! Half-baked jokes don’t always translate very well 😉

Some friend ! 😡
B.17 over Chesham right now, heading DX direction
Well said David
but only logged in after mondariz comments as I felt they were very unfair in the extreme.Jon
Mondariz is a thoughtful and constructive contributor, and I think his ‘gut -reaction’ response was maybe coloured by the shock which many people are feeling.
Daily Mail now suggesting 2 spectator fatalities.
Really slowing down the usability of the forum.
What a shame it has come to this, looks dreadful 🙁

I guess if its not an accident, its not reportable.
Are hydraulic problems common on preserved Hurricanes?

I suppose someone is working on the principal that if you ignore them ( us ), they will go away ;). I quite understand why operators don’t relish attention to their problems, and no doubt we would all feel the same.
Unfortunately, secrets are hard to keep these days, and concern eventually turns to curiosity, then conjecture, and finally humour..
As to the matter of hydraulic problems on Hurricanes, ask the BBMF !

When a prang seems inevitable, endeavour to strike the softest, cheapest object in the vicinity as slowly and gently as possible.
(Advice given to RAF pilots during W.W.II)
If you’re faced with a forced landing, fly the thing as far into the crash as possible.

If an airplane is still in one piece, don’t cheat on it; ride the ******* down.

Bob Hoover would be proud 😉
