Re: Swedish Air Force Historic Flight 2015 calendar
The Swedish Air Force Historic Flight will not be appearing at the RAF Cosford Air Show 2015. I assume we appear on their "calendar" because I did request a quote for them in the early stages of the flying display planning. Unfortunately the prices quoted even to just get one of the jets ...

Re: Abingdon Air & Country Show 2015- Sunday 3rd May
Fennec is a little thin as a replacement for a classic jet.
Losing the Whirlwind is a bigger blow though.

Re: Comet Racer first flight of 2015
Interesting. Clearly the Collection now happy to operate it from that end of the runway, which wasn't the case last season, given the lack of a run-off area.

Re: RIAT 2015
£12 for a programme. Full of adverts and soft photographs. All wrapped up in a cover that would shame a 5 year old with a set of felt-tips. The same price as an advance ticket for Abingdon. Hang your heads, DBH. A rip-off that can not be defended. And, if Andy Armstrong does only one thing, please l...

Re: XV208 "Snoopy" chopped up this week
Cosford was the rightful place for this airframe. Far more relevant to the collection than the current, fading, green example, which is already beginning to look an eyesore.

Re: Duxford May Show 2015
Smacks of a meeting which went along the lines of "OK, give them the Blenheim, Meteor and Mustang. That'll do. Now fill the rest up with any old guff."
Nearly double Abingdon's price, for a line-up half as good.
A lazy line-up, for crazy prices. That's Duxford for you.

Just passed over Hagley area headed towards, I imagine, Halfpenny Green for juice.

Re: Classic Air Force, Newquay - how's it doing?
The diner was another commercially bonkers idea, do you want to have a meal in a cramped 1960s airliner, overlooking a desolate runway or have a meal and drinks overlooking Newquay Harbour or perhaps, Watergate Bay, or Fistral Beach? Who really would have gone out of their way to eat in a VC-10? In...

Re: Abingdon Air & Country Show 2015- Sunday 3rd May
I was critical of the show a few months ago when it seemed we were going to get another predictable line-up, but recent developments have been nothing short of excellent, and this is shaping up to be, for it's size, one of the best shows of the year.

Re: Monino Museum, Russia 11/8/12 (bit late....)
If only one the oligarchs, instead of buying up half of London and Monaco, would use some of their ill-gotten billions to build a national aviation museum to get some of these machines under cover. Can't imagine the Russian winters to a great deal for their long-term survival.
