Surely that Yak is for Soviet Ace not me? (Were is he by the way?) I will share the Hurricane with Bucketman and Foz

I'm glad that everybody had a great day and the weather didn't spoil it. Did you get wet at all?

Dibs on the Hurricane!!! Look at her... how majestic she looks!!! Beautiful!!!

As for Soviet Ace..... not seen him in a while. He's not been active either. Sent him a message a couple of months back but heard nothing from him.

P-51 down guys.. Big Beautiful Doll is down.. Clipped one of the Skyraiders in the Balbo..

Everyone is down ok. The Raider is missing 4ft of wing but, from what I understand, landed safely. The P-51 is smoking in a field..

I'm doing some digging as we speak.

"The pilot was seen parachuting out and is ok - this has been announced over the airfield. The Skyraider, missing a large chunk of it's right wing, was able to make a safe landing at Duxford. It happened after the break away at the end of the Balbo."

As I understand it, the Skyraider hit the 51 and broke its back in mid flight...

From a reliable source of mine, It happened over the Tank Bank apparently, As soon as pics are available I'll post them.

Sorry for the double but wanted to post this:

NOT my pic, just grabbed from the internet.

Yup that skyraider is broken. If you have to fly and land a plane with a large piece of wing missing, The skyraider is a good choice.

I see this picture and remember Vietnam... a strong plane the Skyraider.

A shame the accident and the loss of the Mustang. Fortunately no loss of life
