i'd love to take part in this, pity we can't add the vulcan sometimes just to spice things up 

would love to take part.

instead of making it a VBBMF, why not an RAF historical flight?? then you can use all of the RAF oldest and greatest, but have a small detachment that are the BBMF. then everyone is happy

Great idea
ill fly the Hurricane Mk IIa LE-D as i flew in the show.

We need more fighter jocks to get maybe a big fighter show going with brakes infront of the crowd and stuff

current list of active planes from BBMF site
Spitfire Mk IIa
Spitfire LF IXe
Spitfire Mk V B
Spitfire PRXIX x2
Hurricane Mk IIc x2
C-47
2 Chippies
...and a Lancaster

That would be even better,than we can add planes like the Hunter, Gnat,Typhoon and stuff
maybe add a jet division??

the vulcan was thrown in basically at the last minute, due to my pm'ing little charlie over a flight my dad had when he was in the raf, since the pm it was kept as a surprise until tonight  .

i can see this branching out into a few different eras though.

I'd be happy to try my hand with the lumbering Dak!

kl kl, well, we would need to figure out which displays to do, how many pilots needed etc etc...

good historic flight, a hunter with 2 gnats either side. saw that a leuchars last year. sexy display.

i like the idea of a dog fight kinda thing. would be a nice touch.

next thing i suppose is, what woudl be in a RAF histrical flight?

forgot about the canberra. good suggestion

Just took the Canberra PR.9 up for a spin. Nice aircraft to fly, and it would certainly be a good addition to some sort of historic flight!

Not hinting. Suggesting.

That's always if you have a historic flight with it, at times. As with the Vulcan at the show.

Else I'll gladly take up the position of one of the extra Spitfires

if you guys don't mind, ill take up the team organiser position in my lancaster (its slow and so enables me to type stuff into the chat box )

Can I just say that we don't want too many planes, as then no-one would be able to watch

If we perhaps start of with just the BBMF planes  and the vulcan. If this is successful, we can begin to add new historic jets to the line-up.

So as it stands the positions are;

Spitfire Mk IIa - Available
Spitfire LF IXe - Cspyro21
Spitfire Mk V B - Available
Spitfire PRXIX - Tweek
Hurricane Mk IIc - Serpent_6
C-47 - Heathaze
Chipmunk - Available
Lancaster - Mictheslik
Vulcan - Nemo

Theres only 1 chipmunk cos lets face it, theyre pretty dull )

Just to say, anyone suggesting dogfights in my opinion can leave now, Dogfights almost always end up failing with people doing ridiculously unrealistic manoevres.

As for the historic jets issue, maybe in the meantime a seperate display can be set up, but at the moment the SimVuVBBMF consists of the above planes doing formation flying between individual displays.

So if anyone wants to join up say here what you would like to fly!

On a second thought it might be good to set up a website, I can do this on Myspace.com as its easy but if anyone wants to set up a half decent one then PM me and Ill tell you the details.

Thanks for reading, I hope you all agree!

PS What have i started?

LOL, two organisers posting at the same time contradictory posts! Thats what we lik

.Mic

Also tweek, please confirm which spit you want to fly

By posting all this ive just gone and burnt my bacon

Ain't itg great?

Anyway, I'll say my suggestion is for the future, when perhaps we can expand on what we have. For now, Mic, we'll go with your's

I'm going to see if I can paint (or if there is a paint) for Paul's Mk IXe in the BBMF colours.

Also, just for notes, here are a few things we can use:

Dakota BBMF repaint on SimV

Paul's Mk IXe Spit

Quote:


Aren't they keeping the same paint but making it "better/newer"?

Also a quick note, to join you must be fairly good at formation flying

.Mic

Quote:


Are you sure? I'm cr@p at keeping formation

By the way, we need these spaces filled

Spitfire Mk IIa - Available
Spitfire Mk V B - Available
Chipmunk - Available

By the way guys, I'll be using Paul's Mk IXc as this model has clipped wings like the BBMF's IXe, so it would look somewhat more realistic.

Mk IXc Spit

For now can we cut the jet talk, unless you want to start a new thread about a new group

And about the formation thing, charlie is the lowest level, you have to be better than charlie to join (hows that?)

I just downloaded the other one, oh well thats four new spits that I have added today!

Sounds like you need some lessons...

Do you have Rick Pipers Chippie... Could be interesting teaching formation on an MP sortie...

Quote:


It'd be fun (maybe)! . I'll drop you a PM at some point - I'm busy today too!

I'd love to be involved with this, historic British types are my thing after all. I'll take the Spit V if it's not gone or I can fly the Hawker Typhoon that I brought to the airshow. I'd love to fly the Sea Fury, but it is a frame rate hog.

the website template is done and coded. had a few hairy moments doing. stupid tag ends.

just content to do now

Mic, I could offer help as a mod if you liked

yeh reason the site was up very quickly, duely because i had nothing to do on the weekend, so i got to it and got it finished.

cant wait to see the displays. they are gonna be cool.
