Only those who don't know any better. It's considered shouting and not

Hi Arfur,

 

How goes? Shame about Fairford being cancelled. Did you by an chance get

to Waddington on the 8th and get to see XH558 flying?

 

Oh, and the answer to your question is yes since you yourself have just

asked a question in all caps. :-)

I don't know why you're saying I'm defragged! Anyway my name certainly isn't

Shane! They even made a moving picture about me, you may have seen the

famous scene: "I am Arturo Seis!" "No, *I* am Arturo Seis!""No! *I* am

Arturo Seis!""No!...etc etc etc!"

 

!

 

No, really my name is Walter Cronkite. Not *the* Walter Cronkite. Arturo

'Walter Cronkite' Seis. I am an anchorman on Canal+ España.

 

Are you related to Emily Figgs?

 

Tener una buena cena!

Indeed! Not only that, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight was to fly over

a few weeks earlier and got diverted because of balloons! Of course, the 35

mile fly past should have gone over head but was nowhere to be heard. On the

Monday there was the occasional jet-going-home sound - including about a

dozen, presumably an aerobatic team going home after spending the weekend on

their nether regions. Didn't even see the usual B-1 and B-52! Finally a

Tornado went by directly over the house and below the low cloud cover,

almost like a consolation 'buzz'!

> chance get to Waddington on the 8th and get to see XH558 flying?

 

No. Which 8th was that??? I looked at the RIAT site before Kemble to see if

it was booked, and it wasn't even in the list of possibles, so I went to the

XH558 site to see that it had only just completed trial flights enabling the

application for a licence to be submitted - so it seemed out of the question

of seeing it at this years shows.

 

I'm going to have to go back to the site and see what you mean!

Now imagine this without Mike - no way!

How refreshing, to liven things up a bit.

Rightaway my machine works better, too.

Thanks for the 'shot in the arm'.

 

P.S.: Don't think Shane would have tried this, even though it was a 'good

guess'.

Re: QUESTION ABOUT QUESTIONS

 

It is a beautiful plane. I remember when it came to Toronto in 1982

with a slightly lecherous member of the military looking for young

chicks, lol. I told him E. was off limits!!

 

I ran the Cdn. International Air Show that year and E. was my secretary.

What a blast that was!! Art Scholl doing his fabulous stunt

flying.....our gorgeous Snowbirds.....sigh.

Re: QUESTION ABOUT QUESTIONS

 

Yes, indeed. They've done an exceptional job!

 

The Hendon Vulcan ought to be easy enough to restore, next! I seem to recall

it was flying up until it was dismantled and taken there, then reassembled

in it's current position. Wonder why the CAA won't allow any Lightnings to

fly again - the one at Bruntingthorp ought to be capable of being made

airworthy without too much effort.

Re: QUESTION ABOUT QUESTIONS

 

I expect they figured (or Figged?) that would be virtually it's last outing.

They were mothballing them - then in '83 the Falklands happened and that

nuclear bomber was recalled and finally got to drop some ordinance - just

the conventional kind - on Port Stanley, refuelled by several of that other

outstanding nuclear bomber which by then was solely a tanker, of which like

the Vulcan until a few months ago, there are none flying today (but like the

Bruntingthorp Lightning there is at least one doing take off rolls) the

Handley Page Victor: http://www.skomer.u-net.com/thunder/victor.jpg

 

Amazing story. And thanks again Mike for sending me the vid! Think I'll

watch it again.

Re: QUESTION ABOUT QUESTIONS

 

I never really liked the Victor but that picture makes it look good.

 

BTW I have had sitting here for ages another disk of videos, not Vulcan

but rather various other UK post WWII aircraft including two my Dad worked

on - the Gannet and the Airco 121 (cannot remember if the number was 121)

later DH121 then HS121 better known as Trident. I even managed to find on

YouTube a clip of another he worked on during the 50s, the Rotadyne,

including shots of a demo it made of moving a bridge where I was standing

close to the film crew.

Yes. But it certainly was a performer, I believe it could do everything the

Vulcan could do - except, perhaps, the fly-like-a-fighter bit.

 

Isn't it ironic that of the three, the one that barely lasted two minutes

was the one made by the company that actually still has a product in service

today? I mean, apart from the fact A.V. Roe do have one Vulcan and one

Lancaster still wowing the show attendees? Those VC10s are a joy to see

going over every day! And hear.

You'd have thought - what with all the hiking and the maps that requires -

that I'd have learnt the word 'ordnance' by now, wouldn't you?

I think they look much better without the refueling pods on the wings! It is

a very graceful aircraft and sometimes I think it looks better than the

Vulcan, while other times I think it looks ugly! It certainly was a

performer! Perhaps it is that from certain angles it looks good, and I'd

suggest those are the ones where it most resembles a Swallow. Or anyway

that's what *I* think it looks like.

The Gannet I know, but not the Airco. The Gannet was quite remarkeable,

wasn't it (and as if to prove it, I just remarked upon it!).

> the number was 121) later DH121 then HS121 better known as Trident.

 

But I never realised how ahead of it's time the Trident was! I mean, I

(vaguely) remember it entering service; how noisy it was; and the Staines

crash. Amazing to think that we didn't have the black box requirement prior

to that.

 

Anyway, definate pilot error, not the aircraft, at fault. The aircraft was

yet another British aviation first and I wish I could go on one but...it

hardly needs saying, does it; you can take it as a given, there are none

flying anywhere in the world today!

Right, I'll go take a look at that. I trust you're not actually in it, then,

since they probably didn't film themselves?

 

And btw, have you seen Jeremy Bentham's head then? That is/was a bizarre

one!

 

Okay, so; I'll just go and make a nice cup of tea now, Father!
