    Thanks for the link; very interesting pictures 🙂

    This years oddballs came in the form of a KZ IV TF-JON and a Dornier Do27 TF-LDS.

    TF-JON is a KZ-VII though – and very beautifully restored it is too! The KZ-IV is a light twin; only two were built and both are still in Denmark 😉

    I sure as hell hope the East Fortune lot book you next year for a display, with or without the accompanying gunfire from a Spit, I don’t mind

    I hope for you without, it is an incredibly rare aircraft in its own right, only about a dozen Bf 108 exist worldwide (not counting the Nord 1002).

    Just some basic questions without going into the question of where they should go/remain:

    Even if they were going to be “liberated” (the Sea Furies) who in the UK would want them? Which museum has ressources that it would want to spend on restoring them? Hendon? No, they got rid of one already. Yeovilton? They already have (at least?) one. As for the warbird collectors, the amount of them flying or being restored in the UK seems to indicate that they are not that interested in them. Which is probably why David Tallichet still has two untouched examples of the original batch from Iraq.

    I can’t get very excited about paper projects which never took off. It’s easy to sit down and design a 600-seater aerobatic, amphibious, supersonic cargo/bomber/passenger/fighter aircraft which will fly from Europe to New York at Mach 8.0 on a litre of olive oil; getting it operational is another matter. The Me 262, Me 163 and Horten designs impress me though. And don’t forget there’s a lot of “artist’s creativity” in the renderings of these designs as they are presented to us today, be it in a book or as a model.

    Sadly, I missed a Hellcat ride by about five minutes!

    Are you expecting us to feel sorry for you…. ? 😀

    This archaic pneumatic system is one reason why I have no desire to be involved with Yaks, regardless of how much I would win in the lottery (sorry for stepping on some people’s toes…).

    I am going to remain with my EOS-3 and film for another couple of years. Apart from financial side, it seems to me that these new DSLRs come on the market with the consumer being left to do the final testing and debugging. Browsing through the airliners.net forum and hearing around it is apparently not only Roger’s 10D which have packed up. Then there was something with lenses needing to be rechipped or “adjusted” to suit the 10D properly, and finally one gets to hear how terribly exposed the CMOS sensor is to dust (why didn’t they devise a technical solution for this problem)? This is just not tolerable for a €2,000 camera body.

    The Norwegian CV440 is in a museum in Norway now and has not flown for many years. I remember hearing something about its flying career being curtailed by too high costs involved in upgrading its interior to meet new fireblocking standards which came in force in the late 80ies, thus prohibiting the carriage of paying passengers. It is a great shame that not more effort was made in Scandinavia to preserve complete Metropolitans as they formed the backbone of SAS’ regional fleet for many years, the end of the career in 1977 being marked by three of them making a formation flight around Denmark (which I vaguely remember seeing… 😀 )

    Duxford 2040? Watch Mr and Mrs Smith trundle down Airfield Drive (which was once a runway) in their Vauxhall Cavalier before taking right turn into the driveway of their semidetached, mindfully not to make to much noise which could disturb their 500 neighbours.
