Nice spot lowNslow. You're right, the Bearcat was the F8F. I suppose the F2F must have been one of the earlier ones. Was it the Wildcat, Hellcat, Pussycat or Somethingorotherelsecat?
I move that you be nominated for Anorak of the month.
(PS An F8F currently holds the world air speed record for propeller driven aircraft - pinched from the P-51 'Red Baron' a few years ago.)

On behalf of CityFlyer (Carol - keep up with your posts now, theres a good girl)I know she will not be at Duxford to see us on the Saturday unfortunately but I guess those who are interested can always go back on the Sunday. Maybe we should make the Sunday a standby in case Sat is wx out anyway??

Unless it stops raining soon I won't be able to get away from Redhill. I phoned then about doing one night landing this week to get current at night, and they said I would have a better chance renewing my seaplane rating 
They may let us off from the southern taxiway next week, but I just hope it doesn't come to that.

Flippin (literally) weather...
Know what you mean... got out last Sunday, sort of clear and blustery to start with but by the time I got back to base it was getting dark and peeing down.
Who is to blame?
Is it the government, CAA/JAR or Kevin Keegan?

rightstuffer, I think the piston engine speed record was pinched back by the P-51 Dago Red, now there's a nice PC name
I lean back in my chair, take a sip from my pint of Spitfire and accept the mantle of Anorak Of The Month.
I'll be driving to Duxford due to the previously mentioned woes with my wonderplane.

Whoops, nearly forgot,
F3F Stubby little biplane like an F4F with 4 wings
F4F Wildcat (Martlet in RN service)
F6F Hellcat
F7F Tigercat
F8F Bearcat
F9F Panther but it was ajet so doesn't really count.
I've no idea what the F1F, F2F, or F5F were.
Bak to the beer and reading

So far we have
Arrow2
Rightstuffer
StikNrudder
Whirlybird
Gulfstreamv
AC-DC
LowNslow
New Bloke (that's me )
If I have missed you off please let me know.
I have written to Duxford to let them know we are coming, I will phone them later in the week with the latest numbers.
IF ANYONE ELSE WANTS TO COME, PLEASE E_MAIL ME ASAP AND I WILL ADD YOU IN.
I will send out the PPR Phone number later in the week. Meanwhile, it is still persisting down here, it looks like the southern taxiway on Sat.
