Re: Eastbourne 2023
I'll be going as always. My first airshow in 1998 and now a shadow of what has been in previous years; NL F-16 Mirage Jag 2 Tonkas KC135 B1 Harrier Nimrod even a DHL 757! I wonder if Bournemouth has now taken a lot of the forces' involvement as well as having a nearby tarmac runway rather than Shor...

Re: A-W Meteor NF.14 WS788 Restoration Project
Great update, and very poignant with the Lancaster memorial section. It is so good to know that they are looked after so well by the locals.
For a bit of completeness, your Pakistan AF Hercs are both former Belgian examples, hence their presence on your departure from Belgium.

Tunisian T-6C Texans on delivery through Bournemouth 13/5/23
On Saturday I was lucky enough to get access to the visiting T-6Cs on their way to Tunisia.

Re: Kings Coronation flypast?
Has anyone criticising the size/content of the flypast even considered that the future King may not actually want a huge flypast given the fact that he has been beating the green/conservation drum for many many years?

If stories/comments elsewhere are correct, all 3 of them ( XV666, XZ920, ZA166 ) are now all in Ukr. Surprised 'Damien' was sent, as that's the one HeliOps have been using until very recently. Wonder how long it'll be before the Rus propagandists pick up on that particular airframe, given their oft...

The 1 mile exclusion zone only counts up to 1500ft so as long as you don't bust that you can over fly, these are from a previous carrier visit, USS George H W Bush: https://live.staticflickr.com/4394/36699473842_e124cf86a6_k.jpg GHWB (5) by MSPhotography , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/436...

Wow! That is disgraceful, the punter isn't being offered anything that they couldn't do themselves for a fraction of the cost with one of the tour companies at the harbour.

According to the source material quoted by the Wiki entry, 62-4552 was due to move from preservation in Pakistan to the IHM at W/Super Mare (no dates given) so that may be where the confusion lies.

Re: Displaying with drop tanks - why?
