Re: New Medium Helicopter - Discuss
" the AW169/AW139/AW1[4/8]9 are all effectively in service in both military, civilian, and quasi-military roles like coastguard, firefighting, police, anti-smuggling ops etc " The listed types are all successful and provided good service. Is the UK MOD problem that these types have been pr...

Re: Air Shows 2024

A collection started by one man Richard Shuttleworth, proudly supported by his mother, following Richards death in a flight training acident during WW2. Benefits of membe...

Re: Duxford Diary 2024
IWM Duxford was considered full many years ago when it did not apply for a Nimrod or C-130 when retired from RAF service, reasons given at the times were no under cover storage. Now ten years on they still have no more storage despite a large area at the end of Air Space hangar used for temporary di...

Re: Summer Evening Picnic Air Show - Saturday 15 July 2023
Shuttleworth Collection still open and all aircraft are displayed indoors.
You dont say if your local or visiting from further afield but I assume Duxford will be open as usual.

Ok. So it must have landed somewhere it was reported overhead Kent with a Spitfire and BBMF have posted Air to Air images, that was about mid day ?

Catalina at Grafham Water 7th/8th July
Anybody have information on the proposed water landing of Miss Pick Up on Grafham Water this weekend ?
Remember reading about a possible air to air photo shoot from a Skyvan operating out of Sywell.
Any details or timing available ?

Re: NavyWings - News and Updates
IIRC one of the reasons for grounding the Sea Hawk several years ago was the jet pipe had failed and potentially heat damaged the rear fuselage ? Assume that has been rectified or was not a problem.

Re: Flying Legends 2023 - 15-16 July - Leeds East/Church Fenton
A dozen Spitfires listed so far (excluding whatever the BBMF intend sending), must be the largest Spitfire count in the north of England since they were in service! The airfield at Church Fenton is looking really great, there's a new grass strip parallel to the main asphalt runway, original taxiway...

Re: Italian Air Force 100th Anniversary Airshow 2023
Dont worry about Italian organisation, tickets or QR codes, I doubt they will bother looking at any tickets on the gate. Parking will be a free for all, but that is what the Italians expect so they will not be worried by it. Sadly I will not be going but hope the two days work out and there is a goo...

Great shame that the former Prince Charles Beagle Basset is still not airworthy. On a similar note what happened to Brain Woodfords Kings Flight schemed Fox Moth ?

Re: Season Premiere - King & Country Air Show (Sunday 7 May 2023)
I think the airshow "themes" was introduced as a marketing idea from the previous management (now departed) I assume it was too late to change the 2023 marketing so we still have themes. Remember these "themes" are directed at the general public who have to be encouraged to visit...

One question. Why do you mask around the markings/roundels and not rub them down and over paint ?

Re: Kings Coronation flypast?
Would make sense for the Coronation Day to be a simple affair with no flypast. Then later in the year a RAF Coronation review combined with the issuing of new squadron colours. Expect Army and Royal Navy would have similar events.
