Maybe the Italians fly like they drive.

for the most part prob. very true! Cant ever see the CAA passing a display with a take off like that cant have been more than a couple of inc. off from leaving carbon wing bits on the runway.

Was that the Planes.TV one Ian? I had just watched that and was about to post the very same link

Such Pageantry and Spectacle!

Seeing the lone Chinook and the Hercs
made me feel as if I was represented

Not to mention Kelley Johnson who
would have been proud to be there!

Hats off to you all

Mr Johnson would surely have had a place of honour. Hercs and TriStars are the backbone of what was - until recently - 'RAF Support Command'.

KJ loved your country and its people from
his first visit when he was cooking-up the
Hudson Bomber for you.....

A stop-gap to be sure, but better than what
you had in those early days....

Very moving. Well done Capt Kirk...

OH MY GOD !!!

Superb.

Does the Red Bull logo spoil this? No way!! Does the music? Yep!!!

Thanks Danfth

[Dan4th]

Kelly Johnson's specialty through the
years was the "LEAP" into unknown
territory with radically different
aircraft from what had come before.....

I think the P-38 was his first chance
to break the mold of conventional
aircraft design with something which
forced everyone to re-think their way
of doing things......

Oh, and agree re: music

I would just like to point out I have seen what the view is like from the bomb aimers window!!

That vid certainly gets my vote as 'The best of Aviation YouTube'.

This vid proves ONCE AND FOR ALL the existence
of Lunatics in the United Kingdom

During the week of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee enjoy this video of a fine example of British engineering. The engine was built 40 years ago,left active service in 1992 having spent its life attached to a Lockheed L1011 Tristar. The engine was left outside for about 5 years before being rescued from the local airport and single handedly restored to running condition by myself. I am not an engineer by trade or profession and have no previous engineering experience.
It is a tribute to Rolls Royce that this very same engine that cost millions to develop and almost broke the company can be restored and run in the back garden of a family home/small-holding by an amateur mechanic. Thanks for watching.

PS We tried a JT9D and a CF6 but couldn't do anything with either of them ;-)

British Insanity or ?????????

YOU decide

Danf.

[RLN]

Seems reasonable to me.

[Dan4th]

In my opinion, J. Woolgar belongs on
the Iconic Aircraft website!

As a Slimey Murkin, I am not really
qualified to make the invitation......

Anyone else care to do it?????????

Most of us do something along those lines all the time!

I have a hairspray powered potato cannon, 300 yards range and very accurate! England is known for its ECENTRICS!

Do you count yourself as a one of them??????????

Potato Cannon is Powerful Evidence

I guess I would feel disapointed if I failed to qualify!
