I concur! Cheers Rog.

Well, as a sporadic DCS flyer (usually more regular in the autumn/winter months) this sounds like a splendid idea. I know Fenrir has created a handful of missions that he usually hosts and will most likely respond to this thread positively I guess there's around half a dozen of us that fly DCS on a semi regular basis across the world, usually only 3-4 of us together at any one time.

Cool!

40 minutes of carrier mishaps!

Many happy returns dear boy! Enjoy your evening

Oops

Crazy Ukranians...

Wonderful stuff, what a beauty! It's funny, the G-12 looks better in the flesh than any photograph or colour-plate would suggest. I also think this version of the swastika is a better alternative to either nothing or the modern German flag. The test pilot Charlie Brown, is one of the highest timed 109 pilots around and a serving RAF officer; how ironic! [emoji38] Tom and I have also flown with him in a Stearman… I'm sure we've mentioned that story one or two (hundred) times.

We spoke a bit about this at Legends this year after seeing some of the aircraft involved in the filming. I for one cannot wait for this! Here's the teaser trailer: Here's a good thread on the aerial filming activity: http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?139057-Dunkirk-film-Merged-for-general-updates-and-chat And here's the IMDB entry, looking like top rate cast (ignoring the hairy one from that crap popband): http://gb.imdb.com/title/tt5013056/

Now this what I call an approach! Also, that sound...

Perhaps I should have said 'possibly', meh. It's still almost an hour from me and I live in Kent! Would be splendid to see you there though Nick old fruit, I'm sure I could also sort a bed for the night should you wish to delay the return oop north.

Thank you gentlemen! Excellent work as always.

This probably only applies to the Kent-based UK Dogz... http://baypromoteam.co.uk/herne-bay-air-show/ Who fancies it? Looks like a decent line-up for a free show. EDIT: It's on the same weekend as the Eastbourne show and with a similar list of participants.

Thanks Ovy, that was an interesting read; I had no idea just how much change your nation has seen over the past century. Like Pooka says, we 'westerners' often take things for granted, stability etc. It was a pleasure meeting you and Maddy at DUX, I'm just sorry we didn't get enough time to have a proper chat. S~ mate

Unfortunately, yes.

Whoooooooooop!

Well this makes for interesting reading: http://forums.airshows.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=72608 So, the May show shouldn't see much in the way of changes, but Legends could have tank-bank closed off

Well it looks like the Sunday could be better for me too chaps.

Yes, I read that and sighed.

Here's a write up of the first show of the season at Old Warden: http://www.airshows.co.uk/reports/uk/2016/shuttleworth-collection-season-premiere/

I see tickets are still available for this show... I'm tempted to go just in case the worst happens and Duxford airshows are resigned to history later this year. Are there any Dogz still interested? I'd probably go on the Saturday.

As we all know, since the tragic events of Shoreham last August, things will never be the same again for airshows in the UK. First reports coming in of the opening shows of the season from pilots and crowds alike are painting a picture of stale, over-regulated displays. And with organisers having to stump up a lot more cash in the way of regulatory costs imposed by the CAA, most of the small to medium shows have already pulled out of the calendar. (The revisions to CAP 403 have been discussed at length here: http://forums.airshows.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=71656) An account from Peter Teichman, owner/operator/pilot of the Hangar 11 Collection based at North Weald: The first few airshows of the new world, post Shoreham era under the new CAA regs have taken place. I opened the first show of the season at Old Warden last Sunday on a super clear day and that went very well. Have to say that I had to alter my display radically to abide by the new regulations and it all seemed a little far away but hey, this is the new world we are living in - https://www.facebook.com/Hangar11Collection/?fref=ts Also from one of the most experienced aerobatic pilots in the UK: One particular discussion that has saddened me the most is the prospect of a future without airshows at our beloved Duxford. http://forums.airshows.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=15&p=723257#p723257 We saw early signs of this last year when the September show was constantly being interrupted due to traffic build up on the M11. With the regulations as they are now, DX may struggle to put on a 'safe' show as deemed by the CAA. It's been mooted the reason we cannot yet book September airshow tickets, could simply be that there may not be one. Ticket sales for the May display have been slow and I see Legends is still not sold out... I hate to be the prophet of doom, but this is even more reason to enjoy Legends this year, it could very well be the last we see at Duxford.
