No holidays for me this year, had to cancel two earlier trips to Europe during the lockdown. Local Lockdowns appear to be the new way of shutting things down, without flushing the entire economy down the toilet. Thankfully, North Wales appears to be fully open for anyone fancying a short break in a ...

What a show that was Nige, remembered long by my family....not for the show mind. My Mum left her favourite frying pan behind under our camper

Seriously, that flypast was incredible....we had an Air Force in those days

Its not the most exciting scheme in the world, but at least its something different. Agreed - when was the last time you saw a black all over fighter of any type? Err....... <cough> https://www.globalaviationresource.com/v2/wp-content/uploads/Black-Mike590.jpg Err cough cough :grin: https://www.air...

Arse. Oh well. Back in 2021 folks.......

Do you really think so? I very much doubt it... Ah well, that's more money for Shuttleworth then.

Well for all our sakes lets try and be positive and hope we will be eh?

Two days running, new Covid infections at around 3000 per day. Wondering if anyone is reconsidering going?

Hard to see anything positive from this announcement, both for Duxford as a venue and Historic Aviation generally. Obviously, the regulars will know more and see changes day to day but as a regular attendee over many years, the rot had already begun when the traditional end of season Autumn show, hi...

I know it’s completely irrelevant, but the YF-23 really is an arse-ugly plane, isn’t it. Very cool of course, I’d love to see it, but Christ alive it’s got looks only a mother could love. 🤮🤮🤮 Absolutely. It’s no Hawk 200... I see your Hawk 200 and YF23 and raise you with a face even it's Mother wou...

The problem with the current cabinet is their inexperience, and the fact they are only in position due to their Pro Brexit views. Added to that a prime minister who is only there for the glory of the job and disappears anytime anything difficult needs addressing, just leaves me with no confidence t...

Aah for that to happen Tommy, you assume that a current cabinet minister has one thing that appears to be lacking in all of them, Integrity. My take is that after the Scottish debacle, there could only be one ...

I look at that photo of Mt Rushmore against the wider landscape and it strikes me what a crass act of vandalism that is. Its just absurd.

This....Only in the USA could they get away with a piece of vandalism like Rushmore

I might rightly get a lot of flack for this. But sooner or later larger events are going to have to be tried again as it is the only way things will get back to normal. I'm ok with being there if Duxford is seen as a trail event for larger crowds. It has to happen sooner or later. From tomorrow ind...

I know maybe someone should ask Sir Richard Bra...............Aah wait, we've been here before haven't we :rolling_eyes: As for the £480K needed? Look I'm aviation through and through, but that's a thick wedge needed to save an airliner. If it was the last one full stop, then understandable, but th...

The VC10 group want £480k to dismantle & rebuild in a taxiable condition https://www.gofundme.com/f/vc10-rescue-and-relocation?utm_source=customer&utm_campaign=p_cp%20share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link-tip&fbclid=IwAR3N9sfOLJ48rdrsUDmyzzj25Sq0Yw3JjW0aL3p4R2uFTeoK5f9zDRwtFw0 I wish them luck, but to g...

Virtual Reds were really impressive

[The government’s failure to deal with this is awful now. I know that they hope it just goes away, but the damage of unlocking lockdown is catastrophic and unforced. Tommy It's a Catch-22. If you don't unlock, the national debt rises to the point of unsustainability, the economy will fail leading t...

The slogan obviously read: Stay at home*.........Protect the NHS......Save Lives *Terms and Conditions Apply This is day 6 of Cumminsgate. How long will this go on? Will it get to the Sunday papers 2 weeks in a row? All I can say is whatever hold Cummings has on Johnson, it must be dynamite, or he r...

Another casualty, Rhyl has been cancelled

Have to echo Nige on this. What a few days, sunburn, Tomcat, Lightnings (both of them) B24/30, Patrouille Suisse, Kvotchur's arrival on the Saturday afternoon after a couple of days of rumours. I have video somewhere I was mostly video in those days. All you can hear is me shouting "Look at Tha...

My brother finally gave up his fight against cancer last week, only 10 of us can go to his funeral and we will have to wait until later in the year for a proper send off/wake. If we are spared that is ! A colleague at work has lost both his parents to Covid-19 last week, so I think that’s sadder th...

Looks like, if there is an open day in August, it could be the final one.

Terrible news for the LPG Team, Looks to be the end of Fast Taxi events at Brunty and an uncertain future for some significant airframes.
