Aircraft needs to be signed off and the pilot needs to be current on type to fly it and a Display Authorisation ‘DA’ to display the aircraft to the public

Get a law abiding member of the public who’s car is taxed insured MOT’d and their caravan from their drive they use for one week biannually to pull up on the same said piece of land and say they are staying for the airshow, that will be removed in 35 seconds and whilst being evicted by teh SPG state that the other caravans are all your friends who are law abiding citizens, JOB DONE
A couple of vintage Biplanes heading around the eastern edge of Stanted’s zone about 40 minutes ago to far away to see what but one looked WWI ish
As an owner of such machines I guess its his train set to do as he pleases and blooming good luck to him too.
fly em Paint em as and when you please once you have spent an absolute fortune on them just like PT has, the man has been there seen it done it and got many T-shirts with it on.

I had an intermittent Mag drop on once that showed its self only in the air, it caused a lack of power not loosing the engine its started on a flight from Biggin up to Norfolk just north of Norwich, after landing we did mag drop tests and nothing all good so it was put down to the air temp about 88′ that day, we did a local flight no problem but after leaving from the airfield for return to Biggin after 15 to 20 minutes it started to play up again diverted into DX turned out some wiring in the mag was shorting somehow both mags had to be rebuilt faultless after that.
I have no idea what the problem with Miss Velma was and I would not speculate, comment or assume all I know is a text book cool calm decision making at its best by the pilot.

A true gent, In some ways its good he has decided to knock it on the head not good pushing on if your not happy and 100% behind your display work.
I guess he may keep one of the Spitfires or both for jolly trips out for a cuppa.
Peter I thank you and have met you on many occasions right from day one when we chatted in Intrepid Aviations Hangar when you first had the D17. You did what you said your were going to do and just like the Pantons who will get the Lanc flying you have brought much pleasure to the table.
Another what looked like a Fury / Sea Fury heading south in the sun, over the A 12 Boreham
What looked like the TFC Hawk heading South over Witham Essex 10 or so minutes go, sounded Hawk but just a little to far to see
