One of the things that surprised me the most are the negative comments on the tempo of this years show.
I thought it was absolute spot on based on last years incident, and long may they continue this marginal slower tempo style as I absolutely loved it.
I also feel Mr. Chabbert gets a lot of abuse for no good reason. My friend kept going on and on about him and how horrible he was up until a point I was so fed up with his moaning about Bernard Chabbert than I was close to simply backing Mr. Chabbert up 100%. He may ramble on at times (and most funny thing is how everyone says after every year; “I thought he moderated himself this year….) but maybe, if you stopped being so negative for a second you would actually learn a few things about aviation from him; pilots of the past and the history of these warbirds that you did not know. I learned several things I did not know this year.
His famous “space alien” talk of 2007 or 2008 stands out though as over the top, althought I found it extremely funny instead of taking everything so serious. Want to listen to the engines? Go to towards the M11, you won’t hear a bloody thing from Bernard.
My first year of his chitter chat, and all I said was at least he could of said something interesting over the MK1s then, not go on and on and on and on and on.
Yes I did learn things from him and it was a passing comment, I would still prefer to not hear it.
Your correct I should go up by the M11 and save £69.00 but I like to support with my money not sit in a field for freebie which i could easily do
Who the hell hired that french commentator?
That really spoiled the MK1s display he continued to drivel on and on when it would of been nice to hear the aircraft.
other than that a good show really
VAMFIRE
Certainly the usual solution for up-elevator. Not so sure you could fix down elevator by this method.
Moggy
Elastic band around the Compass 😀
Very sad news indeed.
Just home from legends, A good display of aircraft but I think they are doing an airshow in the fields to the south, that was the downer for me. but not complaining.
Sea Fury display was excellent.
Yaks very tight in the conditions.
3 Mk1 spits a sight to see
SNAFU great but far to far away from the crowd.
for some reason i know it will bring a lump to my throat
The wheel failed to retract fully. Fortunately they dropped fully and he aborted the display after one pass.
Still feel grateful for that pass alone.
Good news, Gravity helps with dropping of UC, Just hoping the three can fly Sunday as I will be attending, when the hell will you see three MK1s like that?
What’s up (or rather down) with the Spitfires u/c?
Are they not a manual hand pump on the MK1’s so needed a bit more pumping if it did not lock in completely.
Bristol Hercules Sleeve valve engine first one
Has someone made a plaster front for it? or corrosion. could be a sea recovery
Yak 11 I think heading north over Chelmsford around 3.30 in per suite of a twin, Heading Duxford?
Lots more Hawker Typhoons
Maybe we would never of got to Typhoons if The Spitfire had never made it !
First time that AR213 has flown this year! Why would you let your aircraft to be registerd as D-FUKK?:eek:

If the Spitfire never made it you would of had.
Lots more Hurricanes
More defiants
More Gladiators
