You’re not wrong, I got confused earlier working out how much debt i’m in including my overdraft! 😀

Get used to it for the next umpteen years!:D

Nice to see the Avro Bi-triplane featured here too! 😉 😀

Amy Johnson Way, Bleriot Way, Audax Road, Seafire Close, Auster Road and Stirling Road – all on the industrial/trading estate that was once Clifton Moor Airfield near York. These names, with the possible exception of Amy Johnson, seem a tad gratuitous to me… perhaps the planner bought a copy of Flypast, a blind fold and a pin…?!

Certainly Seafires were based there at some point, and the Stirling may be a token hint at the fields past as a heavy (Halifax) repair base. As it was also scene to pre and post war flying I’m sure some more of the names at least are from the airfields past. Not sure about James Nicolson’s connection though, although George Cayley was relatively local)…

Well spotted H.C. I couldn’t find it!

Eyes like an ‘awk!;) 😀

(Linton with all Tucanos going to Valley;

Can’t see that happening. They are physically too busy to be compatible, and two of the UKs busiest airfields.

They mentioned a training base. If they are correct I’d say Wyton or Fenton, or perhaps, using the term more loosely, one of the satellite stations (Topcliffe, Scampton etc).

Yes, me too.

I ordered it delivered to my chum Lofty as a birthday present – looks like it’ll be just in time for Christmas.

At least that’s miles better than not being released at all…:)

Does it say in “your orders” the name of the DVD production company – I only ask it’s the sort of title DD would have released, and if it was them you may of course have pre-ordered before they went into administration.

You meant ‘sanded’?

Just wondering if it’s a green grey scheme, or whether it was a brown North African style one:

The new scheme will depict a 601 Squadron aircraft based in the Italian theatre in 1943.

If they went with NCOs in the cockpits, they would save some money, which could then be funelled back into more aircraft or whatever.

Mmm, there’s a reason or two for those at the pointy end being commisioned, and an aircrew NCO doesn’t earn that much less than a Fg Off/Flt Lt. In fact a MACR may well earn more than his other crew…

You actually think people want to fly in the RAF for the money?

Oh yes. For some it’s the only route into professional flying. It pays the bills…:)
