Nurse Julie:
You are correct Colin, I think the 4k was just the fuel !!!
Spitfire:
Most impressive, that must have taken some organising, and no Ian there are no Blackburn Buccaneers flying anymore, Thunder City did operate at least one airworthy example but I think they went out of business after a Lightning that they operated crashed.

Johnwebley:

MCTID:

Well here's a did you know!
Did you know that way back in the early 90's, I had a phone call from a Mr Mike Beachyhead to do some signage for him. Whilst traveling to site with him in his posh car we got into a conversation about flying. I told him how I had been up in a microlite a few times etc, and he said that he also done a bit of flying. He didn't elaborate any further. It was only later I was to discover that Mr Beachyhead was the owner of the only two English Electric Lightnings in flying condition and about 3 Hawker Hunters. He is/was the only civilian pilot licensed to fly Lightnings. He was also the owner of Thunder City in Cape Town, South Africa where I lived at the time.
