God,
I do hate those that don’t believe.
Only the other day I was clearing out my shed and found this titanic porthole from the captains cabin.
Anyone interested in making an offer before I ebay it please feel free.
Sensible offers only!!;)

Actually.. can you firm the maker and particular model of this type (for authentication purposes you understand?)

I might be interested…. but also need to know whether it comes with the original fixings – as they are hard to come by.

Also – is it watertight? :diablo:

This is sad news… I met Les on many occasions at the Midland Air Museum, and had the utmost respect for his Canberra knowledge….

Blue Skies Les, you will be missed

Thanks for that – I’ll keep my eye out for that bit – can’t remember whether I’ve seen it and just not realised it was a Hunter… 😮

Afraid it’s been linked to on other aviation forums a lot too….

Nice footage, but well copied to all online video sites – done to death almost… :diablo:

Fascinating thread – and a nice web link too… I pass by the former Thompson site every day – I live just up the road from it. It was sad to see it go a couple of years ago, the site is now awaiting a housing development once the ground has been decontaminated etc.

Hey look… its my old N-202 😮

That’s an unusual configuation!!!

Hinged canopy / hinged radome / side access panels on the nose? Was all that done for the filmwork then?

Isn’t that last one Andy Cubin flying?

Helicopter blades are minature aerofoil sections, so I’m wondering how the hover would be maintained with no lift from an inverted set of aerofoils????

The pitch on a real helicopter surely cannot rotate 180 deg? Even then – it would mean each aerofoil is facing backwards….. so you would have to reverse the rotor direction….

Nah – I’m stumped.

Perhaps a bigger picture may help identify the location? :diablo:

Indeed… VP263 was involved with Grapple according to google. Maybe this was mocked up as part of it’s involvement?

It does look rather retouched – when you compare the original photo taken during Operation Grapple and available off the net…

😮 Whilst it might be a nice idea about Typhoon, just imagine the noise levels of a 9 ship in formation…. :diablo: The nimbies would have an absolute field day with the Reds….

Harrier – mmmmmmmmmmm now that’s a choice I agree on, in principle. Noise might again be an issue with a 9 ship, but for that extra dimension it would be unique. I’ve always loved the Harrier (makes you proud to be British)… 😀

To be honest, using Hawks is probably going to be the cheapest choice until the fatigue gets to them. With what appears to be a plentiful supply of airframes for a long time yet, and assuming the stock doesn’t all retire with fatigue used up, then the Hawk is an ideal platform to use. Easy to fix, reliable, and ideal for aerobatics. It would be a crying shame if they had to downsize to Tucano or Grobs…. 😮 (as examples).

It was a long time ago that the RAF used anything other than trainers in the aerobatic team role.
