The Kennet Seafire 17 is likely to appear very late Summer or early Autumn, certainly before the year is out and hopefully before the end of the display season.

If Kennet get their Seafire and Gannet flying it would make a very nice double act.

Hi Peter

Can you explain what the point of moving XR724 to Scampton would be. Their are no museums or nothing up their for it and I don’t think the RAF would like the idea to be honest.

The only people who might be able to keep it at Scampton would be HHA but they have their Hunters and the Bucc to worry about.

Elvington was mentioned as a good place to move this Lightning a while back and it would fit in well up their and plenty more people could view it every year.

Hi Peter

This Meatbox is an ex RAF NF11. Was until this year based at Hurn but is now at Coventry airport. The same airport it was built at back in the 50s.

I missed this one and I realy wanted to go.

Looking at some photos from todays event on another site and the Lightning seems to have come very close to taking off today.

Did the Sea Vixen run up ? and does anyone have a photo the Canberaa.

In the days when OFMC was seriously considering restoring a Meteor F.8 to fly, they acquired the engines and undercarriage from this aircraft.

Well OFMC had a Meteor F8 up at scampton but its now with HHA like most of the OFMC jets, however its not going to fly again as it has to much corrosion on the airframe.

WK914 is the serial number of the HHA Meteor.

Yep 5 left and not 1 is inside yet but Duxford and Cosfords should both soon be inside.

This group also tried to buy an ex BDRT Victor K2 in about 1998 for a rebuild to ground running condition.

I think the sale went pear shape and the Victor was scrapped with the nose section preserved.
