No full Nimrod AEW survives.

Excuse my ignorance but what is DACT ?

Also if the Sea Vixen was to work in some-kind of training role with the Typhoons on a regular basis would it need to be operated as a military aircraft in the same way HHA’s Hunter’s are or could it do the work as a civilian aircraft ?

The police were called, but three hours later had not shown up

There would have been a time when the police would have been round within 5mins and would have taken these idiots away and read em the riot act – now they would rather give em counclin and a cup of tea – hence why people treat the police as such a joke.

Its high time police tried to prevent crime and deal with the people who cause it not spend time messing around with the soft options they dont work.

Sorry rant over 🙁

andrewman,

Crew currency flights and ‘Anti Det’ running will still be an issue for 558, and therefore regular flights will still be taking place.

Thanks for that info Flipflopman – how often will XH558 be flying outside of the airshow season ?

Also sorry for my ingonrance but what is an F700 and why is it so important ?

Reminds me of a story I was told a few years back, a DH Venom was being started up using the catargie start (ie lots of black smoke). Some American guys were close to said aircraft and as soon as the black smoke came out ran off and came back with fire fighting gear.

They were somewhat shocked to find the Venom taxing to the runway, lol
as they were convinced it had burst into flames when starting up 🙂

It would be nice if they could get XH558 into Woodford while XM603 is still around id pay to see them both together, maybe get the BBMF Lancaster there for a nice photo opp.
