    I remember that 105 incident, the pilot was fine, until he climbed out the cockpit and hurt his back.

    PL: ‘aaah Twin Pin’ the only Scottish designed and built aircraft in the collection.
    Sorry it was only the 7/8 Paterson, but was good to meet you, excellent company.

    Ren: yes, the Concorde does dress to the right somewhat!

    Although I’ve had some good service and a few decent photos out of the Nikon 5700, I got so fed up with it wanting to re-focus just as I tried to get a shot, I went out and bought a D70 yesterday. Just have to get a decent tele-zoom and read the manual. I’ll never be as good as some of the guys on here, but, with their inspiration, watch this space… 🙂

    Slight error dodrums, TF956 was in fact lost in 1989 at Prestwick

    Stringbag, you are of course correct, there was a similar discussion a couple of months ago, but the brain is getting addled now.

    the last Sea Fury i saw in flight was at Prestwick in 89, unfortunately memorable for the wrong reasons.

    Never seen a Sea Hawk in flight so am looking forward to that whenever it is. They will both be ready when they’re ready, but fingers crossed.

    Looks like a lovely wee aircraft, and can’t wait to get to OW to see and hear her, maybe Sept. But can I add a big thank you to yourself, and others like minded, for investing your hard earned cash in our aviation heritage; keeping these planes flying and allowing us, and future generations, to see, hear and photograph them where they belong, in the air.
