FB11 - Shuttleford it is then!
I concur with barit 1's comments regarding Bob Hoover and precision displays. Far more interesting than the grunt-shove-flick displays of Extra drivers.

By the way, the RNHF website is one of the most interesting and informative aviation websites around. Many thanks to all your team!

I can just recall seeing the odd Fleet Requirements Sea Fury flights around Yeovilton in the very early 1960s. My late father's business partner (an old Swordfish/Albacore pilot) was ecstatic when he heard the Centaurus whistle!

A pity there isn't a Sea Venom around to add to your flight - I used to spend many hours watching them at Merryfield when Yeovilton was being extended for the 'Vixen.


Or is there? Could the NEAM's FAW22 ever be made airworthy again?
