Re: Airshows

Hi rdchawk, I agree with you on crowd lines at airshows, and fools who cross them, but this accident was outside the perimeter. One thing the news are saying is having airshows over the sea (at seasides). Any comments on this?. :unsure: The nearby annual Brighton airshow used to be performed over t...

Re: Hawker Hunter crashed at Shoreham

The BBC showed a picture of a light aircraft crash at Sandown and reported the pilot as recovering in hospital.

Even by bad aviation reporting standards, this is the pits.

Re: How close

When it's active this is one of the easiest RAF stations to view from, with a grandstand seat on the action.

I used those gun sounds some time ago in part of a War Thunder video, using the Corsair and some others.

Here's the Corsair part.

Re: TV ........Guy Martins Spitfire

Well, like Paddyboy, I've been around for many years. My wife reminded me about the programme, but, knowing the history of this aircraft,and being on a nodding relationship with Cliff Spink and John Romain, I decided not to watch it. Great for youngsters, but, like all television these days,been th...

Re: TV ........Guy Martins Spitfire

The fuselage , wings, engine, electrics, controls, etc. are all brand new and if they had all been replaced over the last 70 odd years had this Spit had survived the war, there would be no question that this was the same aircraft. It just happens that it has been done in a shorter period. The result...
