This one hasn't appeared yet.



Several still left and flying. Did for some of the Italian Navy at Taranto and memorably the Bismark as well.

Certainly is, we've had aircraft practising over us for most of the week. According to the on-line programme, the BoB flight, Canadian Lancaster and Vulcan are expected on both days (Sat/Sun).

You cant beat the sound of a Merlin with a Supercharger bolted on.

Been watching the Vulcan and Lancs on YouTube, simply amazing.

Can't believe the Vulcan is displaying on the Saturday at Shoreham. Can't we get them to fly it over the Amex, how good would that be

Gutted about that too. Going to the Albion on Saturday and Shoreham Sunday. Had assumed the Vulcan would be there

You could always give the Albion a miss.

I know it's not easy, and it's something that I very seldom do - I don't have an ST for work reasons so I tend to grab every chance I can to go to games, but this time I'm making an exception.

I'm a bit biased, but the Harrier for me. Last pic is of the 1st ever launch of a Sea Harrier from a ski ramp at sea. HMS Invincible 1980.

I agree, as much as all the other nominations are truly great aircraft. For sheer maneuverability, adaptability, operational flexibility, world class design, the Harrier must surely sit at the top of the pile as the "special forces" of the RAF.

Arse. The Canadian Lancaster has been grounded with an engine problem so now won't be joining up with the BBMF at Shoreham.

So much top of the pile that the Yanks bought all our Harriers when Cameron got rid of them.

Another nail in the coffin of British engineering.......

It's these three bad boys for me,once saw and heard a flight of Lightnings take off on full afterburn,my ears are still bleeding to this day.Mosquito is the best looking aircraft ever and my Dad used to work with the Hunter during his Fleet Air arm days,was lucky enough to sit in the cockpit with the pilot and taxi in one when I was about 4Yrs. old,can still remember the smell of the Aircraft and noise of the Jets,a great happy memory.

The Lightning was truly impressive; Mrs T was working at Binbrook when it closed.

I'm currently visiting my partner in Newcastle, and on Monday he is going to drive us to Robin Hood Airport at Doncaster for a 2 hour premium tour of the Vulcan.

Previously known as RAF Finningley. I watched some great air shows there.
