2. Administrators Jabo Posted May 3, 2013 Author 2. Administrators Posted May 3, 2013 @ Swep - Here. Find Flying Legends in the list and click 'Book Now'. Select Saturday 13th July from the calendar and click 'Proceed'. On the next screen the 2 day entry passes are at the top of the list. Just enter the number of passes you need and click 'Proceed' to start the checkout process. Bear in mind that because tickets are posted to you there is a delivery charge (£7.00 for international, £2.50 UK). If people coming from abroad want a UK address you can send them to so as to save on postage PM me for details. Jabo Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted May 7, 2013 Author 2. Administrators Posted May 7, 2013 So first the bad news - it looks like BA won't be able to make it the good news - a different sort of American fighter may be able to. The Wildcat fires up for the first time in 5 years! Jabo Quote
2. Administrators fruitbat Posted May 7, 2013 2. Administrators Posted May 7, 2013 woot, I've never seen it fly Quote
BluBear Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 It's funny, I look back now and think how much I took the cats for granted. They were always kinda 'there' and I can't believe it's been 5 years since they were last airborne. Excellent work tfc, looks like they are finally putting all the paperwork debacle behind them.

2. Administrators Jabo Posted May 8, 2013 Author 2. Administrators Posted May 8, 2013 You're right Chris, the 'Grumman Ironworks' were such an integral part of the Legends experience it was a said day when they were grounded due to an seemingly arbitrary edict from the paper shufflers at the CAA. I see from TFC's website that the hellcat is also being worked on. It would be good to see all three cats in the air together (even better if we could get the tiger back too!) Quote
Crash Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Sooooo is it just Artie representing North America this year? Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted May 9, 2013 1. DDz Quorum Posted May 9, 2013 ~S~ Chaps, Booked my two day pass online yesterday : } So who is likely to be coming down to stay at my place after the show this year ? ~S~ P. Quote
Crash Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 I think that the overseas guys should have a say in what happens after the show, so what would they like to see/do ? Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted May 23, 2013 Author 2. Administrators Posted May 23, 2013 Definitely - Only FT and Sweper are confirmed for this year though. What do you fellows want to do? Meanwhile back at the ranch... Snafu and the Hawk 75 returning today from a show on the other side of the ditch. Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted May 23, 2013 1. DDz Quorum Posted May 23, 2013 We want to drink Spitfanny... And see some stuff, old stuff, like a tourist would... Or, maybe not. I dunno. Abandoned airfields? Yeovilton anyone? (w00t, it's even further away than Bovington is...) And, for sure, visit Kent, if the weather over there is as nice as it was last year.. Really, I dunno. Quote

2. Administrators Jabo Posted May 23, 2013 Author 2. Administrators Posted May 23, 2013 And a certain P-51 gets an airing! Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted May 24, 2013 Author 2. Administrators Posted May 24, 2013 Apparently she'll be the lead in the horsemen 3-ship! Incidentally, yesterday's pilot was one Steven Hinton - son of 'the' Steve Hinton - some guys have all the luck Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted June 11, 2013 Author 2. Administrators Posted June 11, 2013 New Horsemen intel! Word is that the display team will be swapping their normal P-51 mounts for Spitfires for this years Leg Ends show! Don't worry though BluBear, Lizzy won't be heading back to the US until after the July show. Quote
2. Administrators fruitbat Posted June 11, 2013 2. Administrators Posted June 11, 2013 Permission to wet my pants with excitement! Quote
DD_Arthur Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 New Horsemen intel! Word is that the display team will be swapping their normal P-51 mounts for Spitfires for this years Leg Ends show! Don't worry though BluBear, Lizzy won't be heading back to the US until after the July show. Really? Thats' going to involve a great deal of rehearsing at short notice, isn't it? Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted June 11, 2013 Author 2. Administrators Posted June 11, 2013 Not necessarily, all three pilots regularly fly the spit, and the performance envelope for the display should be well within the capabilities of either machine. It'll certainly make a nice change though. Question is, which Spitfires? Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted June 17, 2013 Author 2. Administrators Posted June 17, 2013 Another intel snippet. Looks like the Wildcat is going to be making a welcome return to Flying Legends this year! Jabo Quote
2. Administrators fruitbat Posted June 17, 2013 2. Administrators Posted June 17, 2013 Cool, never seen a wildcat fly:-) Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted June 17, 2013 Author 2. Administrators Posted June 17, 2013 Wildcat update: first test flight carried out successfully. Quote
1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted June 17, 2013 1. DDz Quorum Posted June 17, 2013 Oooo-err. All sounding verrrry good! Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted June 24, 2013 1. DDz Quorum Posted June 24, 2013 ~S~ Chaps, For anyone who is intending to stay at my place post show, my M8 Dave who I go flying with has offered a short flight to my DDz M8s from Popham airfield. Kev has been up with him over the Battle of Britain memorial at Capel-le-Ferne. This would very much depend on the weather but if all is well 3 or 4 of you could go up one at a time while the rest of us watch. It would be free as I will pay for ther fuel. Please let me know if any are interested asap and I will let Dave know : ) Cheers, Mick. Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted June 24, 2013 1. DDz Quorum Posted June 24, 2013 Wot? Another opportunity to go up in the air? Yeah, count me in... ! Quote
