Cheers chaps, I have all the tracks and the whole 2hrs of comms, would like to make it into a feature of sorts. It'll give me something to do in these dark winter evenings

Good isn't it, isn't it though?! I've admired his '434 solos very much over the last few years, it's clear to see now how he seems to capture that 'Hanna' method of flying. He had so many great mentors including the man himself!

Just read this fantastic article posted over at Keypublishing about the warbird pilot Brian Smith. http://www.globalaviationresource.com/v2/2014/12/11/aviation-profile-brian-smith/ "Some of you will be familiar with Brian for his exploits flying World War Two fighter aircraft with the Old Flying Machine Company, The Fighter Collection, Historic Flying Ltd and others. His warbird displays are flown with the "Hanna spirit" and most recently, he has been putting on superb routines in the Hawk 75, Bearcat, Corsair and Spitfire, amongst others. The article looks at how Brian got involved in the aviation world via the Tiger Club, leading into his association with Neil Williams and Ray Hanna, the latter of whom facilitated Brian's entry to the warbird scene when he invited him to join OFMC. Brian discusses at length his time flying with OFMC and TFC, amongst many other things including his work on OFMC's film/television productions, comparing the various marks of Spitfire, comments on flying numerous warbirds and leading the 16-ship Spitfire sequence at Duxford in 2010."

Hah! Excellent

Thanks all Just got to find the time now to finish the feature length version! Oh and can I just shout out to Friar who performed some splendid formation flying as my wingman on the sortie. I didn't get to fully appreciate it until watching some of the tracks back, nice work mate

Hangar 10 Bf.109 G-6 engine runs! Looks like we'll be treated to another DB engine powered Messer next year https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=611415055653258&set=vb.274625062665594&type=2&theater http://youtu.be/BKufcdKDrW0?list=UUB0F7OsELou_plU48Kmysvw

Happy Birthday mate!

Salute Jim! Gone but not forgotten.

Is that with the dk2 bongo?

Hmm, that is a shame mate. Oh well, there's always CLoD and DCS! And none of those awful russian aeroplanes or snow to worry about

Why let yourself get involved in the flame wars with silly kids? You're better than that mate!

Why, might I ask, are you getting banned?

Hmmmmmmmmesserschmitt.

Last time I used VAC was with IL2 about 8 years ago! Great tool, I'd use it again but most of my flying is online.

It's always interesting to put faces to voices! Good effort on the facial hair chaps

What I want to know, is that a CRT monitor in the background?!

Cheers Artie and to everyone else who has donated!

Count me in, of course!

Thanks chaps Mick, I know we spoke about it at Shoreham and I'm definitely still keen. I'd like to think that we could put together a half decent aerobatic routine if we spent a bit of time on it. The dream would be a four ship a la brietling fighters, but two or three of us would be a good start. I'm going to volunteer you as lead and Fen and I to fly each wing. Anyone else who wants to have a go is more than welcome! Who knows, next year's virtual airshow scene star performers… the dangerdogz aerobatic team

Proof that we can indeed fly formation... (Video is full HD so open in fullscreen )

Cheers fellas!

Final bump with the last two days remaining, any donations would be MOst appreciated!

Hey don't worry mate, it's a great video worthy of seeing again

Great vid ODH, but already posted in this thread: http://dangerdogz.com/forums/topic/9414-the-big-fat-aeroplane-video-thread/page-18#entry120263
