The Flying Misfits?
I chose my pictures for the following reasons:
With the first picture I have finally acheived a decent air to air warbird shot although it lost a little in the scanning process, taken on 7th December 2003.
The second shot from October illustrates that it’s not just big shows such as Duxford where you can get a gathering of warbirds, these three aircraft were / are flown for fun by their owners and happened to gather on a private farm strip where this picture was taken, all three had flown around the skies of East Anglia before arriving at the strip for lunch and were flown again later in the afternoon.
Ah but Chris, you forget that I was there to watch the practice displays at Woodchurch on the Saturday 😉
Very little time was spent with the Mustang on the Sunday, most of it was taken up with marshalling the visiting aircraft and re fueling the display aircraft, good fun, probably the best show I attended all year.

Can someone find a good P-40 picture from 2003 for my favorite?All these Mustangs and Spitfires (all you ever hear about or see on this forum) are making me sick….
Stuff it then, shan’t bother in the future 😡

Just rummaging around in the archives, this was when Harvards were in vogue. You cant find one on an airshow listing nowadays.
You’re not looking at the right shows then 😉 Nice pic though 😀
and this, despite what some may say, it’s not often you see a sight like this on a farm strip.
Perhaps I’d better have 2 as well 😀
Don’t tell me Black Knight has lost Janie AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
You mean I have to miss Coronation Street???? 😀 😉

Yes you are correct,no one wanted her here where she belonged.Oh for a lottey win 🙂
All is not lost however as after AE977 was completed TFC had their Hurricane rebuilt by Hawker Restorations and at least 2 of the current projects are owned by UK based operators 😀

Shame is not the word i would have used,disgraceful possibly that an aircraft like this is allowed to migrate,[sorry if i’m wrong]
The sad thing is there was nobody prepared to buy it in the UK at the time so away she had to go, at least AE977’s owner does let some of his aircraft come to the UK each year so it’s possible AE977 may come back one day.
Shame this one went away
When we got bored with the first one we had another go
