Haha, ten four rubber ducky!

Check again mate, they announced Vulcan for both days a week ago

So who is considering attending the show this year? It's rapidly approaching and the line-up looks to be one of the best yet. http://www.shorehamairshow.co.uk/whats-on/the-flying-display/ I have already booked tickets in advance due to the 'last year of the Vulcan effect' but have not yet decided exactly which day to attend. Ideally it would be the Sunday in order to catch the EF Typhoon as well, but i'll most likely make the decision based on the weather nearer the time. Who fancies it?

Yes indeed. Just goes to show that these chaps get a thrill out of flying these old birds as much as one would expect! Quite an energetic display from a Hurricane too, the last time I saw such was on a Friday before legends about 10 years ago when TFC were practicing in their then new Mk.IV (now in Canada).

And another! Not seen this with sound yet, but the gesticulations from the Hurri pilot seem to say it all

Here's a video I know Fenrir will certainly get moist over! https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f5/F-14B_Demo_1998.ogv

Happy Birthday Slicker!

Nice one bongo!

And now for some footage from a pilot's perspective. This is from Spitfire V EE602 'Mable's maiden flight earlier this year. Restored in the Isle of Wight and assembled at Biggin Hill, some of you chaps will remember seeing her nearing completion last year during the hangar tour. One thing this video does well I think is capture the different sounds that this machine makes. From the sewing machine-like music of the merlin to the hgv pneumatic brakes and flaps that are remarkably loud. Also, it's worth watching to the very last 5 seconds to hear the pilot give his succinct opinion of this fresh bird

Beautiful. I've just fallen in love with the Spitfire all over again

There's a thread running over at keypublishing that some of you may find interesting! I really liked his lo-fi solution for a wood lathe http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?135726-Full-size-V1-Flying-Bomb-project

Well this escalated quickly!

Nice! I'm very jealous that you saw the Mosquito. We need one over here asap.

Brilliant!

What an idiot. http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/33405639/man-in-america-dies-after-trying-to-launch-firework-off-head

One would think it could be possible in future to sign this one off as PFM? Seeing as the model is based on TFC's own P-40F at Duxford, there could be opportunity for the real pilots to test it?

Nice bit of publicity for them, cheers for sharing mate. Looking forward to seeing the DH9 when it's ready, also the two Nimrods (spot the difference FT!) and Fury we'll see this weekend.

I reckon you're right Nick! Always had a soft spot for this unconventional twin.

I'd like to see him do it inverted.

Nicely done sir! That was a quick one Here it is in all its glory: Over to you Gec mate.

Nope

Negative.

Ok then chaps, here we go again!
