…..and started to rebuild a Lancaster for Charles Church……..until it got squashed that is (not sure we can blame BAe entirely for squashing the Lanc).
Is that the retro styled, piston engined, propellor driven Airbus thats only available in camoflage schemes?

Sorry I must have forgotten that. But you know what I mean. “You can test fly it for export but you can’t fly it in displays here it’s too dangerous ” seems to be the CAA attitude
That wasn’t the case with the Lightnings though, at one point there was a plan to test them in the UK and fly them to SA, but in the end they were dismantled and shipped.
Not yet, but they are progressing
If you’re looking for Janie at Duxford you’re looking in the wrong place. Duxford is still not the centre of the universe.
And no I’ve never claimed to have shot anyone, yet.
TDL were based in Lowestoft and used to advertise in Fly Past. I’m not sure what their machines were made from as I can’t say I’ve been close to one.
OK Snapper, here’s your mission this lunchtime. I always understood that the Spit was one of the TDL replicas Spits and the Harriers were held on behalf of a Belgian collector (are these not the ones that were on the UK register recently?)
We would probably have been in the Chelmsford area at that time so I guess thats how we missed her. Shame but I suppose I did get to see the Yak at Woodchurch the weekend before and it’s not as though I hadn’t seen it on many occasions in the past (every week for 10 years or so).
What time did Angie Soper come in with the Yak?
It was origionally rebuilt by Jean Frelaut to static condition after he rescued it from a scrap yard. It then passed to Doug Arnold who had the rebuild started which meant the airframe stripped to nothing and rebuilt. After his death it went into storeage before emerging briefly to Historic Flying (not sure if they did anything to the aircraft) and then on to Hawker Restorations for completion which is where all the problems were found.
If it’s not claimed Snapper perhaps you can put it into the raffle at the October gathering.
