Happy Groggy needs to tell himself some more tales of his wealth, friends , lovers and success. He thinks he is sat at the bar on this bb, like Billy Bullsheet the ex SAS officer lmao !
I wish you’d take off somewhere Gregorio
To late they have been grounded and it is not sure if they will take off again
I hope we can discuss Sareum flying soon!
For the plane buffs on here if ever you are in this area there is a splendid air museum at Tangmere just outside Chichester with fabulous details and stories and momentos’s of airmen based there and at Goodwood during the War and numerous magnificent airplanes on display both inside and outside including a Spitfire, Vulcan and many many others. It’s not especially a hobby of mine but I was blown away by the museum it was fabulous.
As a former BAE Systems aeronautical engineer I’d hate to imagine the practicalities of even just maintaining a Spitfire.
I still remember all the retired old boys that used to go in and work on Vulcan XM603. They always thought they’d get it flying again but the airframe was corroded to high heaven.
I even got roped in to going up a ladder one time to remove the cowlings, venture in to the air intakes within the wings and turn the engines rotors over by hand. Even though you know it’s not going to burst in to life it’s a bit unnerving.
Thanks Mattyboy. finegrs crossed for us all re Sar.....
yep. Brighton born and bred although moved to west kent many years ago
My brother did the same for his 40th bailiff, as I bought him a half hour flight in a Stampe.
I prefer rotary wing aircraft myself and have time logged in an R22, Enstrom and the Eurocopter EC120b Calibre (my favourite!) all out of Shoreham Airport (are you local to Shoreham?).
Never got my licence (too damned expensive!) but it is an 'itch' that I l did like to 'scratch' occasionally when I was still working.
If this comes good (really good) who knows (as I really like the look of the new Hill HX50!) but probably getting a bit too old now (60 next Jan!)
Any way it's nice to dream and best of luck to your son for his Officer Selection Board!
@salfordfred. I did the same on my 50th over Brighton from Shoreham airfield. That was most enjoyable too!
Morning all , as you say , what an experience at the ripe age of 18 . My 60 th Birthday was flying a Tiger Moth over Ladybower Dam, at the same time trying to visualise those brave men in the magnificent Lancaster bombers practicing their manoeuvres.
Sorry I meant 19p and not 0.19
In my opinion it should be down at close to about 0.19p.give or take.
We come from a line of aviators. My uncle actually flew Lancasters in WWII until being shot down in ‘43 and spending the rest of the war in an American hospital with a broken back….dad was commercial with BA. I used to fly privately but lost the love for it but my son is adamant it’s his vocation. He attended the 2nd phase of Officer selection in London last Wednesday near Kings Cross so fingers crossed for him……….
Bailiff, what an amazing experience at 18! I had my pilot's licence by then, but had to wait a few years to fly jets, then, eventually get a flight in the shrine to aviation that is the Spitfire. That 20 minute flight cemented my dream to own one myself. I hope he fulfils his dream to join the RAF - if he is entering as an Officer, he and I will definitely meet... :)
@StickyMT. Not sure if you recall or not but my son was looking to join RAF. It was his 18th last week and we did the Spitfire experience together at Biggin Hill. It was amazing so if you do buy one as planned then happy to help out on the rebuild if you need it as will have plenty of time on my hands from the retirement fund provided by Sareum (🤞).

I'm going for a blue finish...
Going to be a red day oh well always tomorrow
