I promise you it exists. Ad in one of the Aviation Monthly’s this month as well I believe.

Sandpaper?????????????? 😮

The old girl regularly gets a fair run up, but runs nice and clean. I will conduct a poll in the hanger tomorrow afternoon, ehether the moderator will allow me to post the result or not is another matter 😉

At the moment I know that there will be 2 Mustangs and 2 Harvards, I will try to find out more tomorrow.

Try it with the Mustang I’ll break your fingers 😉

Thing is who wants their £1m aircraft to look as though it is unloved?

Wouldn’t the average airshow punter just see it as a scruffy aircraft rather than a meticulously maintained machine?

I can see the point of view of many of the knowledgeable enthusiasts on here, but I am not going to be converted.

Is this the show at Sandown?

They came out of Kemble and headed for Haningfield Reservoir near Chelmsford via Booker and Elstree. Some formation practice was carried out at Haningfield before all three went their seperate ways. Keep your eyes open you never know where you will see them next.

first round on me – all you have to do is recite the following:

1. T-6s are not the ford escort of the warbird world
2. Short Stirlings were brilliant
3. I will visit sywell aviation museum weekly

then flagons of ale and years of peace and wonderment will be yours!

T-6’s are wonderful aicraftright up there with the Mustang, Yak 11 and Stearman.

Short Stirlings are ok, so I was told many times by a former flight engineer.

I will visit the Sywell Aviation Museum (and Bruntingthorpe) this year.

Now where do I get the ale?
