Nobody buying the explanation regarding using WT327's cockpit vs WK163's?

Is WT327 close to airworthy as she is? I guess I'm asking; is 'combining' the two the most likely way of getting a Canberra airworthy?

In terms of types there are a few you'd think would be easy enough to get. Many sadly impossible. Particularly hard task to get an F-32.

The police use it so you'd imagine they would keep the airfield operational for them surely?

Hope she finds a good home!

Very sad indeed. I was hoping there might have been a 'pleasure' flight or two. However covid would have likely put pay to that anyway.

I enjoyed these very much, except for 39. Thanks for posting them.

First participants announced.

ATR 72 and AW169 of the Guardia di Finanza (Italian militarized police) confirmed for static.

XE688 has been at Yeovilton for a couple of weeks now.

Having a post lockdown break?

Great to hear that it's another sell out. If this 2nd show is anything like the 1st then a great time will be had by all. It's really brilliant to see Shuttleworth being such trailblazers and leading the way in restarting airshows. Clearly some of the early pioneering spirit so beautifully preserved...

Perhaps worth nothing that due to limited availability, FRIAT tickets cannot be booked online.

Approx 200 left

Managed to make it down for the 2nd run today. Cloud didn't allow for a full display but didn't matter, fantastic to see them.

Seriously, we're well down page 3 of this and nobody has mentioned 'The Far East Project - Like A G6'?

Probably to drop off or to collect crew that use the C-17 simulator nearby.

Ah right, nice one thanks.

Do you know what the purpose of the visits are? It appeared to immediately taxi back to the end of the runway and take off. Long way to come to spend 6 minutes on the ground.

It didn't hang about!

Based on statements that have emerged over the past couple of days, the TBAG group is moving to Kemble, David Walton is trying to put up buildings to house aircraft next to the 'Q' shed, just outside of the airfield (he owns the Comet, Nimrod and Victor) and the VC10s have been asked to leave by Oc...

Interesting! Thanks for the heads up. Do we know why?

Scampton should become a dedicated live museum. Base all RAF display teams there (sadly currently that amasses Reds & BBMF), with hangarage & support for civilian operators to base themselves there too. Move everything possible from Bruntingthorpe and keep the CWJ days going. I am certain i...

Kuwait Air Force C-17 up out of Newcastle heading south.

Currently got U-2S 68-10337 showing up on 360Radar coming in over the Humber at 70,000ft. Not a type I've had appear before!

Thanks mate

Oh really, excellent. Does anyone know the reg of the 2nd one?

She's been up a lot recently which is nice to see! Once lockdown is over I may try and catch a glimpse!
