  • Tuesday update

    Lots of brilliant photo reports around the internet. In brief a busy day for the team at TFC with test flights and display practices from the Hellcat, Bearcat Gladiator and notably Corsair (first time in the air since 2012) as well as other display participants.

    The P-40C had engine runs to whet the appetite. To add to the splendid photos around is this short clip (-if we are honest the Corsair is from earlier this year – many thanks to Greg for that and catching the P-40C on the move!)
