| Bf 109 Black Six in action to end the week
Another collection of video amusements to set you up for the weekend.
Not telling what this is... oh alright then, it's a Messerschmitt! Not only that it's Black Six showing off in the air, lovely sight and sound. Plus a snapshot of what Duxford looked like before the big USAAF hangar was built.
Sadly the words of the commentator were premature and the beast (like too many 109s) ended up a wreck in 1997. See here for the gen: http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/LRG/bf109g2.html
Too many planes have ended up in that field. We saw a Yak 11 end up there years ago. What a shame one of the best air museums in the world had to have the motorway so close. Argh. Another 500 yards further east and we would have a longer runway for mishaps and big planes to come in. |

| Moving on up to the Jet Age
Double V formations - Vampires and Venoms.
We used to get the Venoms over here at Cranfield - I vividily recall laxing about near our local beauty spot, Willen Lake, and hearing this odd whistling sound. Lo and behold there was a flight a Venoms... hadn't seen any for years aloft and here was half the Swiss Air Force coming in to Cranfield!
Not sure which of these jet powered wheelbarrows I like most...
Great shot of a cart start and batmobile flame-on jet exhaust here. | |

We went to see the Wallace & Gromit film tonight... amazing. Plus, the support short was excellent too, Penguins at Xmas or some such! There are some 'planes' in the W&G film too...
Anyway, to business. A few more shorts etc:
1. Bombs away - B52 lets rip...
2. Flanker flips | |

| A conundrum
A pair more clips plus a puzzle. We see some Sabres here. But why isn't this plane called 'Saber'? Weird.
T'other clip is a nice take off of a Hunter. Sleek and athletic this machine. Read the other day that it is a bit of a gas guzzler. And that's with just one Avon and no reheat c.f. the Lightning. No wonder the latter had 'short legs'! | |
