This JANIE you speak of, is that a Mustang?

Typhoons and Tempests, what are they, never seen one fly. Saw a Mustang today though and another yesterday. I like Mustangs 😀

That really must ruin your day. One operator that I worked for had his Spitfire taxied from one part of the airfield to another on the day of our evening Xmas meal, the pilot lost the edge of the taxyway and stood the aircraft on its nose. There was a bit of an odd atmoshpere that night.

Ghost Town by The Specials, splendid stuff

Ageorge…no, but was in a club one night and this guy lurched up to me and said “hi, I’m Dave…I can light my own farts…wanna dance?” ~Burp~

Needless to say I went and hid in the toilet until he had gone…

Just a quickie,

Iwould just ask that the folks out there who get worked up when they can’t see the aircraft that they want to see flying spare a thought to the ground crews that most of the time are there looking after these aircraft for NO wages & sometimes even having to pay their own expenses to get there to do it, mostly the only thing they get from an Airshow is the satisfaction that they got ‘their’ aircraft to the field so people could see it. I have been one of the lucky ones who have been paid to be there in the past but I take my hat off to the volunteers who work to give YOU the show so that some of you complain about, without them, most of the time there would be no show!

Very well said Warbird UK, the volunteer element often gets overlooked. These guys should receive a lot more paise for their efforts than they currently get.

It still puzzles me as to why the Lancaster hasn’t been allocated participation at Flying Legends recently, instead of other duxford shows throughout the year. I would rather see PA474 at legends with other legendary aircraft than at the may or september shows at duxford !

Doubt very much it had anything to do with the organisers of Leg Ends, probably more to do with the allocation by the RAF. Maybe if we all club together and buy them a second Lanc one could appear at every show that expresses an interest on particular days as they are able to do with the Spitfires and Hurricanes.
Perhaps we should be grateful that there is a Lancaster operating in the UK rather than beating up the BBMF for not allocating it as we would like, I’m sure those at East Fortune last weekend were very pleased to see it.
