I haven’t looked what it was doing instead so may be speaking out of turn, but for an RAF show- and one of the few reamainging ones, at that- to not get an automatic tick when the Lanc’s year is being planned is a great- and surprising- shame. 😮

Absoluteley agree with that. Only 2 RAF shows this year and not to have the Lanc at one of them is a disgrace. I Know a lot of the 53k punters turned up just to see her because it should have been a cert to be there, my father in law for one. Okay she flew several other events but surely priorities dicatate that she attend an actual RAF airshow??!! :rolleyes: 😮

Otherwise a great, family event at Cosford and the attendance figures prove thye’re doing something right… on an annual basis, long may it continue!!! 😀

Thanks for that P-K. Please dont assume we, the willing ?? volunteer donators are Vulcan-d out. Perhaps if the tin triangle hadnt been such a cash sponge then many other projects, c-cvix included might have got a good share out. My frustration comes form the fact that we obviously know of the huge expense required but absolutely no fund rasing in the public sector has been forthcoming. Yes you need lots of fivers but unless you ask, you aint gonna get! With that in mind are we still counting down to 18 May as d-day re loss of CoA?

Good grief get a grip everyone – its a picture released slightly early of an aircraft that we ALL love to bits and will all take thousands of shots of. Why are some so precious that it had to be an official unveiling, do the vets really care one dot if someone took a picture of some art work and posted for us all to see? I’m sure that will be the first thought in their heads when they think of their fallen comrades and the rights of the free they fought for.

I recall a similar situation with the Vixen – why the secrecy? :rolleyes:

Castle Vale estate, Castle Bromwich in Birmingham, UK has many aircraft/airfield streets for obvious reasons…Baginton,Filton, Ruislip, Upavon,Innsworth,Yatesbury, Biggin Hill,Cranwell,Cosford, Abingdon,Tangmere, Locking, Watton, Farnborough etc etc are all there. I’m sure I’ve driven past somewhere in north Tamworth that has Lyneham, Scimitar and Mildenhall amongst others as street names.

this is a german one

German F4F? Are they displaying a jet this year or just a few flybys? – Either way superb achievement to get on in the air!! 😮

Look s a superb mix of machines – cant wait!! (Any chance of the Bronco again! 😀 )

I’m here Paulish but I’ve been told quite unequivocally not to reveal anymore by my superiors. I’d like to know where this other forum is though just as a matter of intrigue.

Welcome back! Just curious as to the reason(s) why you cant reveal any more info?

Some wishful thinking there me thinks. Sea Vixen? Wasp HAS.2???:confused:

Sea vixen’s more likey than a Wasp HAS 2, being as there never has been one! :rolleyes:
