WOW, that brings memories back.
I was at camp with the air training corps at RAF Scampton where they were based during the 70's.
I was on the taxi way once when two took off .......
Fecking amazing noise !!!!! It took the air out of my chest [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/excl.gif[/img]

I remember being in the engine room of a type 42 when one of those engines decided to through a wobbly, oh what a noise as half of it went up the funnel

I remember being at the last West Malling (Kent) air show when one of them there buggars did a fly by - I think I was about 8!
They look like they're flying SO slowly when they're up close - I remember telling my dad that I thought it was going to fall out the sky.
To coin an ol' phrase - "they don't make 'em like they used to"

I know it's got its certificate to fly again, but you wanna be careful of those old birds maintained by enthusiast groups.
A number of years ago my folks were members of the support group that helped keep a certain PBY/Catalina flying boat in the air. They even won a trip in it once AGM and had a nice jolly over to Le Touquet & back.
Then about 5 years later when promoting the idea of an air festival to the bigwigs on Southampton council it suffered a failure during landing and killed the mayor. They blamed component corrosion.
I stopped by on my way home about half an hour after it happened and watched the furor from the shoreline. Very odd feeling seeing a crashed vehicle you know family members have traveled in.
