Flying Legends 2011

Thanks, really an interesting aircraft. I believe it was made of ply-wood if I am not mistaken? In some ways it reminds me of the Harrier Jump Jet, another underestimated aircraft that could be a fighter or a bomber., much faster and more maneuverable than the Mosquito!

Yes it was. As was the Hornet, which was its replacement. Also The Vampire which was the first DH jet was also made of plywood. Well the cockpit module was the wings were all streed skin ally. Oh and i found a FB IV for you in my collection. Again at the DH museum and a rather rare cockpit sanded down of the vampire.

 

Also the Flying Tigers P40 from Legends on Saturday. One of the real stars of the show.

This is the P51 Mustang that crashed. Taken on the Saturday taxing in after doing the big Balbo finish that claimed it on the Sunday. Ended up in a shocking state on once it hit the deck. Hadn't seen it until that youtube vid. It has just been sold to a new owner too.
