i think this as an important reminder that the stalwarts of our community not only irreplaceable but human too, without the efforts of a handful of hard-working and dedicated men and women there would be very little left of our "vintage/classic" aviation heritage still left flying. When th...

Absolutely gutted reading this. While i never met him, his displays where something i always looked forward, he has been a massive part in getting classic jets back on the show circuit post Shoreham. He really will be missed . We can hope that the Strikey's can be kept in the air as a lasting legacy...

I guess that Alizé isn’t as “retired” (in civvi hands) as we were led to believe:

That really is a Ulgy but pretty aircraft, reminds me of the Gannet.

The Spanish Air Force are working up F18 and Typhoon solo displays. Maybe get one of those ?

I'd say not.. Motril is on the same day.

Thank you !

Glad you enjoyed them!

must have had some vinyl left over.

Lockheed L10A Electra c/n 1145, now ZK-AFD, flew for the first time yesterday at Ardmore here in NZ after a restoration begun in the late 1990s. I think this makes just two Electras flying worldwide? there is more, one in the UK (duxford??), one in belguim that came to Sleapkosh'23 and i think a ha...

Less than 6 months now!

Here it is i've been putting this off for a while but here it goes. This is going to be Mahoosive. CC Welcome. Thursday, Friday, Sunday were spent on Totters, Saturday in the show. Think ive just about dried out. Thursday afternoon was mostly a setup camp day but i did pick the camera up a few times...

IIRC they were ready for test flight last year or even earlier and they were waiting on paperwork back from the caa

Andrew Hill (Shoreham) trying to get his pilot license again.

Absoloutely disgraceful..

Hopefully the CAA see sense that the imbecile should be no where near a cockpit.

They have an Instagram page

Just had a reel pop into my feed and thought I recognised it

I flew on HA-MKF back in 2017. Its a real shame that its not been back as it is a really charismatic machine.

Where the bleeding heck are they gonna park that!

This is going down like a sack of spuds.

Really is this what we need, LESS room on the crowd line, felt like sardines last year.

I dread to think what its gonna be like this year.

RIAT did tease a “special announcement” this week. Perhaps it’s related to ICAS, perhaps not. To be honest, other than the A-10, as nice as they’d be I’m not even that fussed about the USAF demo teams (and given the show theme, if only one could be chosen, it’d have to be the Viper demo team or the...

Cosford(museum) can't even look after there own aircraft, let the engineers train on them.. atleast they'd be undercover!

absolutely shocking rugpull from the IWM/MOD, i cant imagine how frustrating this must be for everyone involved.

Looks like at least one dead..

The ospreys arent exactly proving to be the most reliable aircraft it seems.

Being down the road ill probably end up going, but i think this year is going to be very sink or swim.
