The posted link there is U/S for me, any weather related updates??

The BBC 2 day forecast looks rather challenging 🙁

There lies a potential minefield, I imagine.

If one were to dispose of these substantial relics as a job lot, then there is a strong possiblility that eventually somebody will put them all together into a very Hurricane-looking shape, covered with the disgarded and worn-out skin, and announce ” Here is AA123 ” , which it pretty much would be.

This would be awkward for the owners of the recently-flown Hurricane AA123.

Looks as though you could use a longer lens, or get closer to the action.

Alternatively, photograph bigger aeroplanes, and get close to airport/airfield approaches.

RL’s G-BJZZ did not complete that rebuild until about 1981, I remember seeing it at a show at Stapleford Tawney, and it had a mishap at Biggin shortly after.

Maybe Andy G saw some B of B filming activity, and his memory has slipped a few years (!)

I never heard of any of the HA1112’s flying the Atlantic, so it was not likely to be some ferry flight staging through. Jeff Hawke did ferry 2 108’s, but we have been told to discount them.

The piece on the BBC website today is beginning to sound a bit ”past tense’

It spells out what many people have instinctively concluded.

Or…. get in touch with Tony Bianchi, who is the owner of Personal Plane Services at Booker, the company which restored and maintains this Spitfire.

His website Tony Bianchi Aviation will give you a good start.

If that were a Spit it would be bundled into a container, and be flying again in 2 years.

I suppose the lack of a Pioneer rebuilding industry might prove to be an obstacle!

One at Cosford, one in Malaya – any others?

It will matter to anyone who fears for family or friends who may have been flying today, but who DEFINITELY would not have been in a PA 28 variant.
