This looks very like ARC in another hat, ie Aerial Collective. Whatever the adiministrative arrangements, the opportunities they offer are unrivalled.

”Power and speed, two things the Sea Fury has in abundance. With one of the fastest piston engines ever built, this fighter aircraft is a force to be reckoned with. Experiencing this incredible machine first hand used to be only possible from the ground, watching as it soared through the skies at displays. But now you have the chance to experience this wonderful warbird first hand, as you fly in a Sea Fury with Aerial Collective.

We operate a Hawker Sea Fury T20 which is taken care of by the Aircraft Restoration Company. You can read more about its story below or discover our unique range of flight experiences here.

The RAF PR blurb suggested to me it was a solo Tornado. Shame, a three-ship would look much better.

Long -term projects relying on volunteer labour often seem to hit the buffers like this. There are frequently differences in opinion on the best way forward, which ends up with factions pulling in oposite directions, such that the group becomes more about the squabling then restoring, but it is hard, and devisive to fire volunteers.

In a commercialy funded project, you have a boss who selects and pays people according to what skills/experience they bring with them . More important, they readily have the means to jettison those who represent an obstacle to progress.

It is unlikely a volunteer group could ever have got the Vulcan flying, but there are notable exceptions, like the Northern Aeroplane Workshops who built three wonderful historic aircraft, over many years.

As an addendum to thoughts discussed above, yesterday we heard of the very tragic fatal accident that befell a Luton Minor in Essex, the first ( yes, really ) fatality associated with the type since the prototype flew in the 1930’s.

It burned on impact, so either experienced a mid-air fire, or struck the ground hard enough to rupture the fuel tank, which would suggest loss of control. All of that will become clear when the AAIB publish their findings.

Whatever happened, it reinforces my conviction that it is time for a real campaign of teaching and education/ instruction to inculcate piloting habits by which control is not so readily, lost, nor indeed lives.
As mentioned by Scotavia, this forum is not for pilots per se, but I will approach the LAA, and see if there is scope for some focus on this issue.

I wonder how many other recreational pursuits discuss and digest death and injury with such regularity as private flyers.

Oh, the irony.

Two men aboard a 76-year-old plane were killed when it crashed Monday morning shortly after take-off, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

Initial reports show the plane had engine issues, which may have caused the crash in Wayne County, about 60 miles south of Cleveland, the highway patrol said.

Brian Stoltzfus, 55, of Apple Creek, Ohio, was flying the Douglas DC-3 plane, and Curtis Wilkerson, 56, also from Apple Creek, was the co-pilot, the highway patrol said.

“It was a great airplane, and there are thousands still flying in remote parts of the world, but it is an antique,” Ganyard said.

A spokeswoman for the FAA initially said six people were aboard the plane and that four other passengers were injured, but the agency has since deferred to the Ohio’s highway patrol, which reported the two deaths.

The FAA and NTSB each said no investigators immediately would inspect the crash site because of the record-long government shutdown. The NTSB added that it would look into the incident once the government reopens.

Errol, I think the inbedded PDF is restricted viewing . Any chance of a copy/paste to non-members. I am interested to read that.
