Wow, thats pretty cool news. Hopefully see it at Cosford next year due to the proximity. Fingers crossed.

This is great news. Good old Air Antique. Well done Charlie.

I'm not sure but I thought Air Antique already had a Canberra. I know they have a Meteor but I haven't seen it yet.

PS. This makes two. http://atlanticdhg.com/AACF/CanbA.htm
They also operate a Meteor NF.11, Venom FB.50 & Vampire T55. Also two Shackleton M.R.2, WL790 based at the Midland Air Museum, Texas in airworthy condition & WR963 at Coventry in ground running condition. Maybe that will fly again one day. It's becoming quite a collection. http://atlanticdhg.com/AACF/Aircraft.htm

Lets hope this is going to happen, would love to see the canberra in flight,

i know this is about the canberra but Air Atlantique are currently trying to get the flying Shackleton brought back over to the Uk for the Airshow circuit..... not sure on the progress of this though, would be great to see the shackleton and the lancaster in formation.......

I presume this is the Shackleton over in South Africa? It's a crying shame that the only airworthy Shackleton, Buccaneer AND Lightnings are all in South Africa. Yes, the Shack and the Bucc served with the SAAF, but not the Lightning! We need some airworthy aircraft on home turf!

According to the Air Antique website it's at the Midland Air Museum in Texas. Read my earlier reply.

What is the problem with afterburner in civilian hands then? Is there a more complex way of operating it, or just the fact that we don't want any forests going up in flames?

I would have thought you would be able to restrict/limit/disable/whatever the afterburner on an engine...
