Sounds as though Seamus and Black Knight were at different shows.

Why, by implication, only historic aircraft? Or do you simply not enjoy aerobatics per se? Nothing wrong with that – we all enjoy our aviation in different ways.:)

As I read it they did trial it and did form a squadron of them with the smaller 20mm canon, which was required to standardise the canon in use. The squadron never settled with it – there were serviceability problems and with new Spitfires becoming more available I presume the big disadvantage of its high altitude performance was not matched by its ground attack potential.

Didn’t the later model P40s serve in the role you suggested for the P39 in the desert?

A question for you which I have often pondered. Are orders taken actually taken and signed there and then or are they simply the culmination of many months of negotiation which could be signed anywhere or are they only statements intent for PR/Marketing purposes which may or may not turn into hard orders?

I know that in other areas of industry the exhibition is often no more than a good sales and marketing shop window at which hard contracts are never signed.

“Better off in the air in this scheme than not in the air at all.”

Exactly – I happen to like it a lot but if it’s in the air I don’t care that much how it is painted. Just wish I could have got to Kemble to see so many of those beautiful machines!! Camo, blue, grey, red, yellow, silver – who cares??:)

The angle of that Hunter take-off is fantastic!:D Very few aircraft look good and right from every angle but Sir Sydney got it right every time and the Hunter remains supreme!!

I agree and good cover in the current Fly Past. Very interesting – it was rejected by the RAF and I had no idea how significant it became for the Russians.

Possibly two Spitfires heading SE near Canterbury at about 0830 this morning. Can anyone corroborate?
