Please not another year like that!
Last year was such a nasty year, so many died at airshows.

‎"At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation."- Igor Sikorsky

Very sad indeed. Sadly the Humming Bird has a history of fairly serious incidents, although none for many decades.

Sadly a very talented aviator has been lost - he was briefly chief pilot of the collection a couple of years ago. RIP

I heard about this this morning. Terrible Cry

It was a trip with my dad to Old Warden that originally ignited my interest in aviation!

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!
