I'm on 3 forums which have now drifted over onto Facebook, 2 of them are car forums, 1 about weather. The Facebook sites have a lot of traffic every single day and many posts, they really outdo the forum versions which are graveyards now but still going. With social media being available at the tap ...

Many of us at the Eric 'Winkle' Brown memorial airshow at Yeovilton thought 'Lancaster' was obviously a misprint as it hadn't flown for months, what a stunning surprise it was to see it appear from behind the Somerset hills and bank sharply before coming over low and sounding better than ever. It ma...

The infamous B52 at Blackbushe incident springs to mind and the Russian Knights for Farnborough 2012 due to whatever excuse it was in the end.

Wow, Jane Fleming really has a problem with it! Light aircraft are 19 times deadlier than driving a car and then lists a load of aircraft accidents in 2016, she must work for the Mail!

Good luck, I really hope they don't succeed in their battle.

Can't knock the guy on the build, it looks fantastic even though it's not exactly 'a Spitfire' but a 60% scale replica. However, 60 hours in it and he's already doing aerobatics. "It's a little scary but I am getting used to doing aerobatics.” I'd have to build an SR-71, might need a bigger gar...

Superb, what a great girl!! I wish her all the best and hope she goes far

Very sad, a real achievement for her and such a shame she did not get to show off her skill more.

That's almost as bad as Wizz Air, no, infact it is worse! Since Concorde went there is certainly a gap in the market for it, how successful it would be though I don't know, how successful were Concorde flights from London to New York in terms of profit taken after running costs etc?

I know the Swordfish based at Yeovilton is still out and about and that would be an excellent aircraft to learn about. There are a fair few Mustangs around and I believe there's still a Texan/Harvard based at Shoreham.

Oh wow, that's stunning!!

As I see it, she never actually claimed the flights to be "solo", at least not consistently How do you define consistently? There was plenty of evidence where she gave presentations stating she was solo, her website stated she was solo, the award(s) she accepted were for her flying solo. ...

Horrible footage, not a clue what has gone wrong there but looking at the tailplane it does appear almost upisde down, frightening, poor souls.

Tracey has been stripped of her Bill Woodhams Trophy, the first time that's happened in history and rightly so, far more deserving people out there than a liar and cheat. Veteran member of the LAA Barry Tempest has made some strong comments about her "I think she is a boastful lady who needs br...

Considering there is nothing mentioned on the Nelsam website or Facebook page one would hope it is just the social media rumour mill in overdrive. Someone has asked on the Facebook group if there's any truth in the rumour so hopefully an official reply will come soon. It would be a tragedy if it was...

You may want to count again.

I did and I can only see 'Ouragan' offering congratulations. On that note I must add my congratulations myself to the lady, a proud moment.

Absolutely on the sex thing; seems like they look for an excuse for outcry these days. They?!! Your generalisation of the female race proves a point. I made a comment which has an element of truth to it and could be debated/argued until the end of the earth. In all of the replies only 1 person actu...

Why is it when a woman achieves something on this forum it's all claims of false allegations and no praise or credit is given, it's really beginning to pee me right off!

Very sad news, rest in peace to the gentleman passenger in his 80's, everything crossed for the pilot who is critically injured. As a lover of Mustangs I am obviously quite sad that Janie has been lost but it pales into insignificance when there has been a loss of life.

Awfully sad, he was so young. Condolences to his wife and young daughter, plus his friends and colleagues.

Boeing 'Super' Stearmans belonging to the Breitling Wing Walkers team. Thousands of hours, thousands of displays, thrown around and exerted to some rather decent g forces. I also agree with the Grob, King Air and Tucano although I have always loved the Tucano display. I also have a massive soft spot...

Lovely shots! What was the distance for photography like? I had read so many conflicting reports about the display line being pushed back and I never made it down there for the first time this year. In the past I have struggled with a 300mm at Bournemouth, what are your photographs shot at?

What a fantastic programme! That SAR rescue was real edge of your seat stuff to watch. The poor lad at Coningsby, I can imagine the ridicule his mates will give him now, I thought it could've been better handled to not paint him as a loner with a 'weird' interest. When I was his age me and my brothe...

Travellers set up camp on Air Festival's disabled parking site TRAVELLERS have set up an encampment at a Bournemouth site used for disabled air festival parking m Bloody disgraceful, I don't know why the police don't have more powers when it comes to this, although most seem to frightened to get in...

Better safe than sorry! I love this aircraft and the pilot really does fly the socks off it which is a welcome sight, especially this year when vintage jets are almost a taboo subject. I hope the damage isn't too significant and she'll make some more appearances this year, it's certainly a huge loss...

Do the right thing? I'm not driving from one end of Dorset to the other wasting petrol, battling nightmare traffic and trying to find parking for a weak airshow when I do have better things to be doing, like working. Other years I have booked the day off as it's been worth it, for me this year is no...
