  • More updates on the P-47

    Less than a month to Flying Legends 2012. We have all taken the opportunity to have a long week end off before the push into Flying Legends week.

    Fighter Log is now at the printers and we have pretty much everything in place to bring you updates on confirmed news on Flying Legends as and when we have it.

    We have updated the P-47 web page including a newly edited video HERE which now includes much new material containing significant air to air footage, not previously released. Martyn, one of our engineers captured this during a recent photo shoot with John Dibbs and much thanks goes to John for allowing us to capture and use this material.

    Enjoy and book your place at Legends 2012 to appreciate this lovely aeroplane.

    Tonight we are also extremely lucky to bring you some quite unique and exclusive video. With many thanks to John Dibbs who allowed TFC engineer Martyn to accompany him on an air to air photo-shoot of Snafu. Martyn was able to capture some really atmospheric “over the shoulder” video while John did the photographic stuff. Here is a clip of that video, hope you enjoy it:

  • How you can help us!

    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.
