    See here. https://vimeo.com/133906998

    Like a groundloop, but more aquatic. Certainly whips round!

    Spit or Seafire back over Chesham today 14. 45

    I would bet it was coming from Fairford, and took off about 14.30 🙂

    Some nifty panning going on there !

    I think the shots with ground visible are more pleasing. There is a common trend to fill the frame with an aeroplane in flight, shot after shot, and once mastered it becomes rather stale, I feel. Technically spot on, but creatively unremarkable.

    Spitfire ( perhaps Seafire) weaving around in trail formation with some high wing light a/c which had its fuselage door open, low over Chesham 17.10.

    I am not writing it off! There have been too many Tiger Moth accidents in the last few years where the machines have not been at fault.

    The Moth Cub shares your concern, and have produced a worthy educational series of videos covering various aspects of Moth operation.

    This is, after all, an eighty year old design, and contemporary flight training barely touches this sort of flying.

    Check out the films ( 7 or so ) . They are well put together.

    Holy Cr*p ! No thought of minimum safety altitude ?

    I would have thought that if Propstrike’s version of events is truthfull – which I believe it to be, then there is very little that Headcorn could say or write to redeem the situation.

    My knowledge of the Tiger Club at Headcorn goes back to 1963. They were as well regarded in those days as they are to-day.

    It’s difficult to believe that anyone could behave as badly as that described.

    I, of course, post this only for reference. The content and opinions are ALL those of the Tiger Club. I have no personal knowledge of any aspect of the dispute.

    In ”44 they would have done it overnight:rolleyes:

    Mind you, health and safety protocol was on the back burner in those days!

    ”The Flypast, scheduled for the 15th September 2015 will see 35 Spitfires and Hurricanes from the UK, USA and Europe flying in formation from Boultbee Flight Academy’s base at Goodwood over the areas of the UK most affected by the fierce aerial combat that took place during the Battle of Britain.

    The two wounded servicemen who are currently training at the Academy as part of the Spitfire Scholarship will also take part in the Flypast which commemorates those brave pilots who defended Britain’s shores in 1940 inspiring Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s iconic speech ‘The Few’.”

    16 Spits flew at DX a few years ago, but this would be a formation TWICE the size !

    Yes, the original scheme ( one of ) would be a nice choice, but I suppose if it ends up joining the ‘£3,000 whiz-round’ fleet ( not saying it will ) the sales package probably would require warpaint for the authentic ‘Battle of Britain’ atmosphere.

    Look at post 26 on this thread. The recent photos tell about all you need to know of current condition, I imagine.
