It is pretty a taildragger that is featured. 🙂
I had heard that about the Pet Shop Boys
I am sorry but there is no way on earth you will get me to watch a Pet Shop Boys video (even with the sound turned off) in order to answer this question.
Looks like G-BDIT, however… stuff that, I spy G-PSID in the video
There will still be one a few miles up the road….
Most of my comments over the last x number of years have been tongue in cheek…….
At the end of the day does it really matter, the preservation scene has another new machine, the punters are happy at the show and we all have somethng else to whine and moan about because this and that is not how it should have been and the pilot isn’t wearing 100% authentic underpants etc etc etc. We should not loose sight of the fact that wherever these machines have come from they have taken a massive amount of input and investment from a small group of talented people…
Crap!! A hugely important piece of NZ’s aviation history, that Fox moth, is going overseas. I hope its sale is stopped like the DH89 earlier in the year, as I’m sure it would fall into the same category if not higher of nationl treasures. It was one of our first ever airliners in the 1930’s. Damn!!!
What rubbish, does that mean we can have the Bristol Fighter back, or maybe the Hurricane or numerous other aircraft that have been sent to New Zealand in recent years? The free trade in these machines can only help the preservation movement worldwide.
I think not…. would have to be an American fighter methinks.
To an average Joe like me, that seems like such a surreal thing to do – popping over to X for lunch, taking the Spitfire…! 😀
Cant see a problem in that at all, althogh surely you’d want to take something with a little more class…..
Preserving aviation heritage in the UK, your Canberra looks a good challenge by the way.
Some of us are trying very hard Bex, but not with airliners…..
Sold to Jack Ericsson in Oregon in early 90’s. Sadly its now been repainted in US markings. Does anybody know when it last flew?
How did you get a flock of pigs certified or are they still on the N reg?
I think it was the 707 that just whistled over Colchester headind towards Southend, looked very nice
I had a fair look around but obviously didn’t have my eyes open (not unusual these days)
