And be replaced by those pesky Mustangs ?
What a good idea… Mind you the Mustangs could always leave as well (a few have already)
They are hardly pushed for a Spitfire to show the public at Duxford
All of which apart from the Mark 24 are privately owned and could all fly away to new homes one day.
It really sucks when people just put any old crap on the forum instead of answering the post.
Anyhow part of the reason I dont post much here anymore is exactly what happened at the start of the post. funny answers to a simple question or dont we do decent answers anymore.
Clearly people don’t have a sense of humour here any more, which is part of the reason why I don’t post much any more, particularly about the small contribution I make to the preservation scene as it would most likely be seen as wasting bandwidth.
Sadly all the humour has left the form 🙁
Or alternatively work a little bit harder……
Out of my window I can see lots of cars goind round a roundabout, all of which seem to be roadworthy, a Police Station and more importantly a pub…. which is where I am going now.
Interesting change of tune on the insurance issue between the printed article in the EDP and that on the website. Nice to hear they are covered.
Dont think there is enough left of TF956 to restore, water is not as soft as it looks plus it does nasty things to certain metals in a very short space of time.
The two seat aircraft has been restored and is flying with a private owner in America.
The next day was Sywell airshow. Maurice Hammond having great fun in his Harvard:
He must have been having fun with his Harvard from a distance then, I must look for the remote control device…..
Nice pics by the way
If you organised a Warbird display, and your main participants were Harvards, I suspect remarks would be made!
Oh how the air display world has changed, not too many years ago that was about all you were likely to get in any number. Guess we are rather spoilt now.
Oh no be careful, this has been covered elsewhere, you will be subjected to pages of abuse telling you to use the search function…
That aside it seems to have gone back under the Lend Lease agreement, and good to see you are still around Willow.
In my mind TD248 is about the best I’ve encountered, (yes I would say that;) )
I prefered it in the silver and red scheme, apart from anything else it was much easier to keep clean (as was TE184 in the grey, not that it ever flew back then)
Where did you hear that?
Personally I hadn’t seen them elsewhere so thank you for taking the time to share them here.
Have you tried speaking to those at the Museum of Berkshire Aviation?
I started my volunteer work at Duxford in 1984 and have since met a lot of great people and made some good friends along the way.
Certainly does, nice to see the former WoGB Corsair, lovely aircraft, did a fair bit of work on that a while back….
