Looks good m8. Was that the £40 flight I saw advertised? Might have to go for that next year. How was the weather for you? Jabo

FW190 and Buchon Early on in the show, the conditions were atrocious. First up were the Spits (4 Merlin, 2 Griffon), the Buchon and the new-build Flug Werke 190 - both sporting swastikas which provoked some comment. There were actually two FW190s at the show, but only one has a C of A These have been cropped and PhotoShopped to try and bring out some detail from the murk. I'm not even good with PS, but hopefully these are OK Jabo

Brilliant OT, a well observed and documented record of Saturday. Glad you're all home safely - only waiting on a report from Sged now... Jabo

First two, and possibly my all-time favourite plane (there's a lot of these!). Especially for JP

Just got back after a fairly marathon weekend, and I'm pleased to report another successful DDz outing (as far as I'm aware, we're not banned from anywhere). The weather at least was dry, but lousy for photos (more later). Highlights of the show for me were the FW190, 2 Sea Furies, finding Heliopause, and Sged, Gec & Vila for providing this year's overseas contingent. Oh, and we also met GIAP who insisted on taking our photos for reasons which at present are unclear... There will be pictures soon, but I need to photoshop them to sort out the lighting a bit first (there's people pictures too - Jim) ~S~ to Friar, Painless, Sid, Knight, OT, Gec, Vila, Sged and Crash for a great weekend!

Well, it's that time again...So here's the debrief thread ready for the photos and associated rambings. Hard to believe that in 72 hours or so it'll all be over for another year

And OT makes it 10 for Saturday. Glad you're going to be able to make it Adrian. Jabo

Possibly the PSU as that's the first component hit by a surge. Try completely unplugging the PSU inside the machine (all connectors including mainboard and drives) and then with the mains on, briefly short out the green and one of the black wires on the mobo connector. If you hear the PSU fan start up, the problem is likely to be elsewhere (probably the mainboard), otherwise replace the PSU. Jabo

Disappointing but hardly surprising, given that there's no currently airworthy example in the UK and only one in Europe. The Messerschmitt Foundation in Germany have two, but one got bent last year in a landing accident and they're not keen on sending their aircraft too far from home in any case. There is a Buchon though which is kind of similar. And an FW-190 in the static park too. Of more immediate concern is the fact that all the Fighter Collection aircraft except Miss Velma are also missing. No Hellcat, Bearcat, Wildcat, Corsair, Spitty, Gladiator??? On a more positive note, there's some nice footage of the Sea Fury on the FC Blog Jabo

Yep, looks a bit like it. Shall we head VC10-wards now, or see what it looks like later?
