Britishness at its best provided by Crab-Air

Nice picture..

The boys done good!

They did - the Chinook display was probably more impressive.
The Typhoon...... very loud, very fast, shame about a 600mph speed limit. The sound of twin jet exhausts on reheat bouncing off the sea and buildings sends a shiver down my spine.

I was at Biggin Hill over the weekend. The Typhoon and F-16 were highlights for me and it must be a Maserati thing - you can keep your wing walkers, WWII re-enactments and stunt planes, I just want something that's fast and BLOODY LOUD.

The reaction of my four year old son when the F-16 flew past for the first time was absolutely priceless....

Same as by 4 year old grandson and his 2 year old brother!
A V12 Merlin is close!
Wing walking was dangerous when you could actually fall off!

You'll need a time machine for a proper air show , mildenhall in the 80s was fantastic , FF to 7:30 , I think that lightning scorched some eyebrows on the flight line

Though I disagree on the WW2 aircraft, nothing sounds better than a Spitfire at full throttle

Agree Wack, but even better an Anzani on one of the Shuttleworth Collection, accompanied by a whiff of Castor oil, better still, my Lycoming happy, strong and beating evenly in front of me in a Robin.

Memorable were the 5 Harriers, lined up in front of me, bowing in unison. The ground thumped in response.

Remember doing repairs on GE Lighting's at RAF Binbrook...showing my age now, but it was in my cadet days.

Used to get our private air show on a daily basis as an apprentice at Dunsfold, a remarkable aircraft.
Then much later in life seeing the fruits of my labour delivering some good news to the Taliban, whilst I stood and watched

Just watched that video when we had a proper air show with more than 1 aircraft!
The fuel bill must have been horrific!

Rather like this taken from my garden last week.

Anyone spot this on DriveTribe Facebook page?

I'm just popping down to the shops darling........

 

[Wack61]

I hope there's no speed bumps on the way

I was thinking of going to a Pistonheads barge meet, similar thing but without the Graff connection

Just saw this on the wall in a works toilet

What a grotesque tug. A four door Bentley is as big as a small Caribbean island yet the 12 makes it look like a Mini Clubman. Absolutely awful.

Not the best looking Maser ever and not convinced it is practical as a daily runabout but as a race car -
