With Rob GG getting airborne again with his Nieuport 17 replica today it seemed appropriate to post this video of Rob and John locked in combat over La Ferte last year. Amazing to think they took these planes over the channel, we could hardly see the coast from our ferry!!

Another hats off to everyone; who manages to get up and running with their aircraft for Flying Legends It is this time of year with the clock ticking away that everyone needs a bit of a boost while they are getting aeroplanes ready for the big week end, both at Duxford and across Europe – all those mechanical issues and paperwork mountains to sort out so that we can sit back and enjoy a great weekend. I saw one of the logistical spreadsheets today which just makes you realise how complex an event this is with its largely international cast!

Anyway, La Ferte last year and a bit of fun:

(Facebook viewers, you know by now, click back to the diary to watch the video)

Rob just caught this picture of TFC Nimrod with Stuart Goldspink at the controls closely followed by Charlie Brown in the HAC Nimrod at the Duxford Jubilee show. TFC Harvard has displayed and the MkVb is due later this afternoon – meanwhile Stephen is busy displaying the Hawk at La Ferte Alais, a busy day all round.

A quick reminder of Wednesday action at TFC – many thanks to pilots, engineers and TFC again for their help.

Hi

With Flying Legends getting ever closer so is the excitement. The workload is getting greater as well.

We would really love to answer all the emails and phone calls about TFC aircraft, new , old and rumoured. The truth is we just don’t have the time to reply to all these enquiries and work on aeroplanes.

As soon as we can announce news we will do, as we always have in the past. Thanks for helping us on this one – it really does help getting the work done.

News tonight, P-47 and Corsair test flights just taken place together, photo to follow

Next Harvard and Hawk been up.

A bit of a wet Sunday has allowed us to start finalising the latest Fighter Log ready for the printers.

Those of you who view the diary through the main www.fighter-collection.com website will be pleased to know we have sorted out the gremlins and the page is fully viewable within the website. We will be adding more features to the website over the coming weeks.

We would obviously like to see you on the TFC diary pages but we know there are a lot of Friends of TFC followers on Facebook so; with a bit of fettling we are again able to link our diary posts to Facebook.

More later.
