BluBear Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Hi guys, For those interested in seeing the build up to Flying Legends here are some places to start: This thread on the keypublishing forum The official TFC blog As of today (4th July) these are the notable happenings: Fighter Collection P-40F - Arrived today and is awaiting assembly, can't wait to see it! The Horsemen, arrival and assembly - Both Mustangs are now mostly assembled and looking sweeeet. Buchon (Spanish 109) and Night Fighter F4U-5 Corsair arrival from Germany. Hawker Fury (The ultra rare biplane!) assembled for the first time after 18 year restoration - unsure if it's going to be flying, but it'll be there all the same. :D :D :D I'm excited, can you tell??!!

2. Administrators Jabo Posted July 4, 2011 2. Administrators Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 They're talking elsewhere about a 3-ship Hawker biplane display - Lets see...Nimrod, Fury...? Jabo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluBear Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Let me just get my anorak on... Ahem... There are two Nimrods at DX, a mk1 and a mk2. Now there is a Fury also. Just down the road at Old Warden you will find a Hind and a Demon. Hawker bi-planes FTW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted July 4, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 We've seen the Three Kestrels last year! (Three Kestrel powered aircraft: Hawker Fury Nimrod II, Hawker Hind, Hawker Demon. Video of their display at Duxford Flying Legends, July 10th 2010.) Edited: It's not a Fury in there, it's a Nimrod II!. Thanks BlueBear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted July 4, 2011 2. Administrators Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Oh yes, I'd forgotten. Thanks FT. Jabo PS. On a slightly related note, just skimmed thru the keypublishing forum thread and it's nice to see all the sniping, backbiting and flaming is still in place. I swear I've never seen anywhere more full of moaning, whinging so and so's who never miss an opportunity to slag each other off - apart from ubi and 1c forums obviously.

BluBear Posted July 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 @ FT Sorry to be a pedant but that is the Nimrod II not the Fury along with the Hind and Demon. Three Kestrels all the same though @ Jabo That is the reason I don't post there anymore. Over the past few years it's got worse and worse! However, there are still a good few members who have a lot of interesting things to share, and for that reason I still 'lurk'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly guy I guess...) Never EVER believe the French commentator Well, I'd like to suggest to take it a step further: Never ever LISTEN to the French commentator.... (I wish I could be partially deaf, to the French only, when they're in the UK, speaking frenglish...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted July 5, 2011 2. Administrators Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 I've only ever posted twice on the forum there, got flamed for one and ignored for the other, obviously not showing the proper deference to the old hands.

It says.... "there will be thunder" and "there will be lightning" and from what I've seen on Metcheck there may well be bloody rain to go with it !! Saturday afternoon still looks to be the best option though ~S~ Painintheass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weatherchannel, which I have found to be pretty accurate (unlike our dear old Met Office) have Saturday forecast to be good: http://uk.weather.com/weather/10day-Cambridge-CB24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted July 7, 2011 2. Administrators Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 netweather.tv says Sunday will be better. I suggest we do our usual and make the call tomorrow afternoon/evening. Jabo P.S. Much less windy on Sunday too, so better for the lightweight stuff.
