What, no Su26?!

Ray Hanna 28/08/1928 - 01/12/05 It's hard to believe that 10 years have now passed since Ray left us. He and his late son Mark are what ignited my passion for aviation and particularly warbirds at an early age, thanks to PapaBear for exposing me to West Malling, Duxford and Biggin etc whilst still in nappies! Elliot Marsh from Global Aviation Resource has managed to articulate particularly well what Ray meant to many enthusiasts, his words resonating with my own thoughts and feelings. Scroll down to the bottom of this page for the article in question: http://www.globalaviationresource.com/v2/2015/12/01/editorial-december-2015-remembering-ray-hanna/ I could try and harp on, but more of my poorly articulated words would simply not do it justice. For those who were not familiar with Ray and his son Mark, or those who just wish to remember what it was like to see warbird flying at it's best, here are a selection of videos: https://youtu.be/XvmUqRY8fLw And of course these!

Excellent! I need to reserve myself some time to watch it all as well now

Oh that's a shame FT.

Only watched a few minutes of this so far, but looks interesting. Rare footage of 64sqn at Hornchurch in 1942. http://player.bfi.org.uk/film/watch-64-squadron-at-raf-station-hornchurch-1942/

Haha, It's all about the angle! All true of course, we've been crapping wrong all these years in the west.

FT, you da' man! This is excellent

One of my all time favourite videos. A friend of mine sends me recordings of him doing his best impression. Still never as good as the original. I love the Internet. Gems like this would never see the light of day otherwise! Haha

Totally agree!!

USAF at Manston 1955.

Ok, Bristol Type 170 Superfreighter Mk 32?

Bristol Freighter?

This is a new one on me! Although it did happen 6 months before I was born

Happy Birthday Dom! I hope your Sharkiness is well and enjoying one's day.

Hmm two different variants of fugly.

Definitely blippage FT, i'll seek some other videos soon! In the meantime, my jaw dropped at 2:44 on this one:

Oooooh tasty!

Well that would mean, it certainly isn't an F-16

Happy Birthday Sir!

Excellent drone footage of Bristol Scout replica. I saw this fly at Shuttleworth this year, very nice.

It's looking more possible now than ever before... http://www.hawkertyphoon.ca/ I posted a thread about this somewhere, but more info can be found here: http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?135426-Canadian-Typhoon-Project

Well it's British and that is a Prototype

This news Arthur! http://britishairshows.com/de-havilland-mosquito-to-fly-in-uk.html

Well I for one am hoping to be back fighting the good fight this Thursday! Been a bit busy lately being in Thailand and playing gigs with our illustrious leader

What is it with these random French aircraft that are coming out of the woodwork, that don't actually look like a shed has mated with the elephant man? Very nice! A little 'stamped on' but nice all the same.
