[Ben Montgomery]

Get the B-29, Fifi over from the States!

One can but dream.....

[Flyingmonster]

Im hoping to get to my first Legends this year! Like you Ben I want the B29! After seeing Enola Gay in the US I want to see one fly!

I tell you a couple of things I would really like to see!

The Blenheim get back into the air but that's a long shot!
+
I would love to see the cats get back in the air (Hellcat and Wildcat)

[Flyingmonster]

The Blehnhim would be an awsome sight! I saw it once... Truly superb machine!

Really hope we see her back in the air this year!

Oh right, actually thinking about it that sounds about right! I remember being at Duxford when I was a kid and seeing both the Lysander and Blenheim fly fomation displays! Those were the days when Black 6 was on the display circuit! Can't wait to see them back in the air

Yes, although gone from the Cambridge skies, at least, alot of people worked hard to show it to us, and they did, whenever they could, and who can forget those, great air-to-air shots of it by Mr Dibbs and co. Black 6, what an aeroplane indeed. But at least we got to see it. But, you never know what the future holds !! I've cannot believe the stuff we have been treated to at Legends and DX in general, there's aeroplanes, I never thought I'd see, thanks to warbird owners taking time, to show us their 'pride and joy's. And now talk of a possible 'Zero', if thats to be true, in 2012. The future's still DX !!

Couldn't agree more. Great place, great people, great aeroplanes and great flying!

[pikey01]

Mieir Motors 'to be well represented

I wonder if that will include Big Beautiful Doll? They have just purchased her

"From the UKAR thread."

Would this be the same forum that last year reported a Me262 over Biggin Hill, a Sea Hornet was due, that anyone who dares view from the outside should be shot, and thinks Flying legends is the best show in the world and gets better every year regardless what turns up? Just checking...
