Rumours made public, then denied then proved groundless, then a new rumour…why the h*** don’t we wait, keep checking the TFC, until we all know what will be there and what will not??:diablo: After all it’s not long now!:D

wot he sed!!

Always worked for me in the past. There’s usually an ‘official’ list on the IWM site a week to 10 days before as well.

Cheers (and looking forward to another classic legends)

While I understand the theory of it being seen from the air, I have to wonder how many airline passengers will just look down and see ‘scrap airplanes in a circle’.

It’s a nice idea (while not counting as art in my book) and if it raises awareness of the BCATP then it has to be a good thing. But will it?

Despite my initial reaction (which was ‘what a waste’ of Ansons) I have to admit that the airframes are no worse off here than they would be if they were left in a storage compound to rot. So no harm done really.

Look on the bright side, it could have been worse………

…..it could have been Mosquitos!!!!!!!!

Auster 5 G-ALBJ and Tipsy Belfair G-APIE overhead Weston, Spalding heading roughly South at 17:55.

Nice combination!!

Beech 18 (C45) heading North-Northeast over Peterborough at 13:37 today (Thursday).

Hopefully the Wittering Harrier that went the other way was aware of it!!

Just to prove I haven’t moved yet….

ML407 noted on Sunday 25th at 11:28 enjoying aero’s over Ipswich, then heading South/SouthEast at 11.40 appx almost over what is currently still my garden.
Great to see her again:)

I don’t think anyone is suggesting that he not attend, he has a wealth of experience and knowledge. He should just learn the value of silence at the appropriate time. It’s similar to being a sports commentator. Saying nothing at the right time and letting the scene tell it’s own tale is a skill that all the best commentators have.

This perfectly sums up the commentary situation for me.

Apart from that the show was excellent, really first class. Especially when you consider what was locked in the TFC hangar (for whatever reason).

Here’s to next year

How does the situation with the much loved and flown in the UK new build Vimy with it’s car engines compare to the very nice Flugwerk 190’s?

Isn’t the Vimy still on a US experimental ticket as NX71MY? That would put it in the same league as Miss Velma and the new Sea Fury as far as displaying this weekend goes.

I don’t know why the Flugwerk 190 couldn’t also be put on the US experimental register as the ‘owner’ is nominally US based.

I think:confused:

Yes that’s the definition I got out of it too. But then again, they do include those planes they have a permit to fly.

No they haven’t, the Spit XIV, FG1D Corsair and Nimrod at least all have current permits (according to G-INFO last night). The Nimrod on the list is the HAC one.

Looking good, very good:)
