    I've just returned from The Oaks , and can confirm 5 damaged aircraft , these are 1 Bob Cat , 1 Sonerrai 2LT , 1 Searay and 2 Jabs. The Sonerrai and Searay appear to be write offs with the Jabs and Bobcat being damaged but repairable . As far as tie downs etc. I can't comment , however , I do know that the Sonnerai was hangared and that the hangar was completely destroyed and some of its structure has been located about 500M distant . The Bobcat and Jabirus were damaged by flying debris and their tie downs were not compromised . David

    Apparantly the A340 " hovered unnervingly above the ground " , it seems that Airbus have finally developed a VTOL airliner .. Dave

    At least the runway was still usable , unlike Hoxton Park Airport I recall , whose runway was ploughed up within minutes of the airfield officially closing down and denying any use for even emergencies .. Dave

    Phil .Yes I flew with Wilkesy from the Green , a lovely bloke who runs a good outfit over there.. I'm hoping to do the RIAT and Farnborough next year , coincidentally and fortunate for me within a week of each other . Of course Ill try my hardest and get over to see you , should be easier next time as I'm planning about a 6 week stay .. Dave

    They cruise around 85-90kts I seem to recall ... A very nice handling aircraft , decent rate of climb and a good short field capability ... I would class it very similar to the Skyranger Nynja in performance and build type .. Dave

    John , I've downloaded ISSUU . There is an option there to download the magazine and store it in the " offline realist " .. You can then read it at your leisure , internet access or not .... Seem to work well .. Dave

    Phil Aer Kid ..... That 727-200 is operated by Oil Spill Response and based at Lasham ... It's very significant in that it's the very last 727 built , and is 31 yrs old . It's a regular now on the British Airshow circuit ( no pun intended ) .. Hopefully I'll be over there next year for the RIAT and Farnborough in July ... Can't make it this year .. I thought the Canadian Lancaster had gone back home , it's still in Blighty it seems .... There's already plenty of Cosford 2015 on YouTube , so at least I get my fix that way ...had a great time at the museum a couple of years ago ..all the best . Dave

    Nobody .... There is quite a section of filming edited out at 4:54 .That circuit was well in excess of 2 minutes .. David

    Isn't this the same bloke who made his millions buying and selling cheap Asian imported electronics to us all , and now urges us all to buy Aussie now his pockets are well and truly lined ... Hypocritical I would have thought .. Dave
