No, 'Biggles slaughters Johnny Foreigner' by Captain W.E Johns. Probably banned now by Diane Abbot and the rest of the fuckwit coalition.

Guest Tata Steely Dan Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 The only airshow I've seen cancelled for 2017 due to the terrorist threat is the Great Yarmouth airshow. Last year airshows were cancelled because of Shoreham 'n' that. Pick a timely, current excuse. Oddly enough Great Yarmouth's fireworks on the beach are still going ahead on the 19th of June, which is when the airshow was penciled in for. Terrorists clearly don't think a bunch of cunts standing around on the beach watching fireworks are as worthy a target as a bunch of cunts watching aeroplanes on the exact same beach. The simple truth is, post Shoreham a lot of these piss-poor airshows will go the way of the Dodo. The Duxfords and RIATs of this world will survive, but the smaller shows will suffer if they aren't properly organised. Airshows that clog up local infrastructure, have terrible parking policies and are organised like giant village fetes deserve to die. The RAF have killed off the Chinook display, the Hawk T2 demo, the King Air display team and the Tutor display. Even the crappy airshows could usually procure two of these displays. Shoreham has been something of a lucky excuse, as historic fast jet operators have dwindled in the UK in the last decade anyway. There is nobody operating a Canberra, Meteor or Hunter (for obvious reasons) any more. Ok, you could argue that Martin Baker occasionally operate a Meteor for research flights, and there is one or two companies with a Hunter here and a Buccaneer there that are technically on the RAF payroll, but nothing of that sort is being operated commonly in the civilian field for display purposes. The Vulcan is grounded and heading to the scrapyard due to a complex mix of vanity, mismanagement and lack of creativity on the part of the operators. What is left? The Sea Vixen can only put in appearances in the South, and the RNHF Sea Hawk appears to have gone into storage. The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight operate aircraft that can only fly in good weather and a Lancaster that is currently in for a major service but only made around 60% of its scheduled appearances when it was in good condition. A few Jet Provosts (boring), Foland Gnats (small, dangerous and mostly boring)... not much! Plastic prop aircraft performing the same aerobatics over and over again, the occasional Pitts Special or Stearman, the occasional private Spitfire, the Catalina... same old same old. The Civil Aviation Authority seem to treat operators of some types of historic aircraft as little more than a nuisance that gets in the way of the day job. Annoying that post-Shoreham you wind up watching aircraft displaying half a mile away, with some gibbering cunt talking all over the engine noise. Given that one of the early findings of the Shoreham investigation was time-expired cartridges in use, perhaps the CAA have a point though! Ancient jets that had a patchy service record when under 24/7 care of the RAF, in civilian hands and maintained by old men with spanners, flown by old men with slow reactions and underlying medical conditions. Some how these cunts pass their medical. Must be a brown envelope job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought most air shows have been canceled due to the fact the public liability insurance has made it untenable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tata Steely Dan Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Apparently the pilot and co-pilot went to prison but argued, in a typically Russian manner, that they were given the wrong flightplan. At no point did they question the flightplan when they saw grass whizzing past the cockpit, apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wizardsleeve Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 I seem to remember one airshow, but remember the location, where the pilot of a fighter jet had catastrophic technological failure mid air, and ditched the aircraft over a populated area. Exceptional cuntery on his behalf, too bad it wasn't over a Cheshire golf club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
