Chugs, I entirely second what you say about
Chappie - and she reveals another unique side of herself. I don’t know anyone else who thinks
albert is such a beautiful plane
not suggesting, of course, that Albert isn’t an entirely wonderful bit of kit.......
Actually, that missing crew manoeuvre in the video undoubtedly has its own innate beauty - and looking at the perfect weather for that flypast made me think of the weather today near Cottesmore village when the IX B Sqn Tornado flew the memorial for the 40th anniversary of the crash of Vulcan XM604. It was perfect today as well, when we remembered the rear crew who died that day. For anyone who hasn’t ventured into it, I strongly recommend SarBen’s ‘Does anyone remember my Dad? 'Vulcan Bomber'‘ thread
Green Flash, thanks for the kind words - in answer to your question
You doing RIAT again this year?
at the end of RIAT 2007 I announced that it had been my last. I figured that 28 years was quite long enough doing something allegedly creative. Not retiring, or stopping any other shows, just not doing RIAT any more.
Sorry, thread creep.
