Strange - where did it say Dave Slow crashed at Lowestoft - that was Tony Cann, who I believe got a bit of stick for the crash, as well as a broken ankle.

You're right about Dave Slow though. He was Harrier display pilot in 03, and joined the Reds in 04. I was wrong about last year thought - that was a chap called Chris Margiotta flying the Harrier display...

Read my PS. Not sure where I got that idea.

The chap I'm thinking of was at the Shoreham display at least 2 years running -, before Chris Margiotta.. I have a video of him taken from the cockpit during the display. I'll check it out.

On the subject of displays - have you ever seen the "Yakovlevs" display team. I hope that they'll be at Old Warden in May. I flew with one of their pilots the other day. Yakovlevs

Yes, I've seen them several times. I believe a couple of them displayed at Old Warden last season. Excellent. Wink

I'm hoping that if they go to OW in May and said pilot's there then we may get a closer look at them Wink

Depends upon what you wanna test fly I guess. I spoke to a representative from Boeing about this once and he said they pretty much won't even look at you unless you have prior military flying experience.
