Best of luck guys, hope you have a fantastic day.

I have watched the Frightening Blighters on a number of occasions and undoubtably they are spectacular, however I am not keen on their display due to the fact that they are so close together. I fall into the camp of enjoying the more sedate warbird displays from a personal preference however I fail to see how an out right ban on Warbird Aerobatics will significantly change things.

Supposing G-BPIV was too badly damaged to be rectified quickly, could G-MKIV be made to fly again?

G-MKIV suffered far greater damage than it would appear that G-BPIV suffered.

Bit of a difference though, the hurricane is “only” rag and tube construction not metal skinned

Not strictly correct as on all current Hurricanes the wings are metal skinned and LF363 suffered extensive wing damage.
You make it sound easy to rebuild a Hurricane.

If you care to check I think you will find that either this one or her predecessor flew witha Mk I nose and I am pretty certain it was G-BPIV (this one). I actually have a photo somewhere of it.

I’d love to see the photo as last time I saw the Mk1 nose it was still being rebuilt, I know I’ve not been around Duxford as much recently as I had in previous years, but I’d be very suprised if this did happen.

The ‘security team’ are trained to operate fire appliances and to rescue crew from burning wrecks are they? I wonder what the Fire Brigades Union have to say about that. As we heard so often last year, fire fighting is a specialised job carried out by firemen.

Who Cares!!!!!! This is not the place to introduce this debate.

It is generally standard practice for airfields to have fire crews trained to CAA standards to act as emergency cover, these people will usually have other jobs as well on the airfield. I would far rather have trained staff on site who can attend rather than waiting for someone to dial 999 and wait for the fire service to come out.

You clearly have no taste EN830
