Not yet, but soon! Fantastic progress being made in NZ on behalf of the Biggin Hill team. I can't wait to see this: https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FBigginHillHeritageHangar%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0ojqpHHQkdCp5tGkT7an4ju9rRzaXWAVFVQxR37MnN42zNZA5VfTBSHn75RTVQvUgl&

First link in my post Col, but not allowed to be embedded. Hence why your one is a weird IL2 mashup! See above and below 🤪 https://youtu.be/4iOoiEbtf2w?si=EuTLq173asVfrq7A

20 years ago today, the aviation world lost a legend. Here are just a few clips of the man at work. https://youtu.be/4iOoiEbtf2w?si=EuTLq173asVfrq7A

+1 Really glad to hear he is improving and sounds in good spirits. Thanks for the update Wingy

Also, just one discrepancy. My death tally should be 31. The 32nd death occurred while show-boating in a P-51 after we'd won the campaign, so doesn't count yeah?

Just my thoughts.

According to Google, I spent approx. $619 million of the taxpayer's money on SAM killing. Achievement unlocked!

Excellent! And great job in assisting them old bean.

I have to say, I think the J-35 isn't bad looking. A bit of a love-child of the F-22 + F-35. Here's some cool Chinese Carrier footage: https://x.com/OedoSoldier/status/1970067493529301444?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1970067493529301444|twgr^|twcon^s1_c10&ref_url=

We did neutralise the weapon's facility in the mountains!

Some fabulous aerial footage of this year's RIAT here:

Marvellous. It'll be great to see you old bean! Shame you can't make it Crash. Going for the whole weekend was a last minute decision this time, but some of us have been going on and off to this one several years running now for day visits. I think with Flying Legends and Sywell now sadly events of the past, perhaps this could be the candidate to replace it next year for a properly planned Dogz weekend. RIAT is expensive and doesn't offer the level of warbird fix, Duxford is also more centrally located.

Attention UK dogz! Fenrir, Jabo and yours truly will be attending Duxford's flagship warbird show next weekend (6/7th September). https://www.iwm.org.uk/airshows/duxford-battle-of-britain-airshow/flying-list?utm_source=email&utm_medium=enews_weekly_tuesday_28_august_2025&utm_campaign=mktg_IWM_Commercial_Events_BOBAS_Awareness_uk_prospecting_Q3_Events_enews_Book Now_Battle_of_Britain 80_Subscribers&mc_cid=a182a339fd&mc_eid=f5e0a71bfd The flying list looks fabulous, with some special rare guests such as a Sabre and an A-26 along with the usual double digit Sptifire offering. Check it out. If anyone fancies joining us, we'll be there both days.

It certainly doesn't read well at all. I've long been an admirer of TFC as a warbird collector, operator, airshow organiser and Nick Grey as a fine airshow pilot etc. But, the more you read about the dealings of ED, the more it sounds like he's a bit of an asshole businessman!
