What sounded like GNY 4611 was with London info 124.600 a short time ago, guessing it's the one due at Yeovilton?

GNY 4611 showing on PP as Lynx [3FA994] 83+20
Posh are going to Wembley (albeit for a tin cup)

These normally stop off en route - I think it dropped into Marham last year. 83+20 is the one with the fantastic midnight blue colour scheme.

Spitfire Arrived in Formation with a ME-109.
RAF Typhoon in Static From XI Squadron.

Photocall Was Very Good, Bit Late Entering and They Didn't Open the Gates to Allow Us to Leave Until 20:00, Had to Stand on a Chair a Couple of Time Just to See What Was coming in on 27 To Land and During the Rehearsals as I Couldn't Take Pictures Through People.

It’s not what you look at that matters. It’s what you see.

Ahh the famous 293, that poor plane/cockpit has had such a hard life! I take it she's just on loan to Yeovilton for the day as an exhibit and hasn't changed hands yet again?

There's only been the odd blip since Strathallan cut 'Zebedee' up - most notably the vandalism suffered a couple of years ago. Fortunately we were able to source a pilots seat and two new MR1/T4 control yokes, which have got VP293 on the road towards being the great display exhibit she was a few years ago. Radios and a new engineers panel will be added shortly.

VP293 has been doing the show circuit this year as part of the Shackleton Preservation Trust's fundraising and PR effort for WR963. She is still owned by the gentleman that recovered the remains from Strathallan, and is unlikely to be changing hands.

In times between shows, she's resident at Coventry with WR963.

Kind regards,

Thank you for the information Rich, good to see that Zebedee is largely back together and touring the UK show circuit. I had lost touch with what happened to Zebedee after the vandalism at Duxford and the subsequent move to Coventry but I have just found your website so am enjoying looking through all the news and photo's on there! :thumb:
