Excellent picture but the biplane's attitude looks like he's slowed somewhat whereas the monoplane (seafury?) is level.

[EJW]

Wow. You're good at these 'multiple aricraft' shots.

[Daube]

Very nice shot !
I just love the design of that SeaFury, what a fantastic plane it is... Too bad it doesn't show properly in FSX SP2 :/

[Hagar]

Nice idea. Shame it's not possible to see this for real. The RNHF aircraft have been grounded for most of this season.

The majority of the problems are the engines, the Bristol Cenuarus and Pegasus engines (not Harrier engines) are limited to about 30 hours display time in a display year before they go back to Warton for over haul that's if they are working ok, last time I was at Shoreham there were spare engines in one of the GA hangars that used to belong to a company that overhauled the Historics engines for them, sadly a bill wasn't paid the engines confiscated and the engineering firm went bust, and the engines have stayed there ever since.

Seems a pity that can't be sorted out before they're scrapped. Which company was this? Who is the present owner of the confiscated parts?

The last time I saw them I was A maintainer on the Sea Harrier Display team and we had Ingested half the airfield during our first display, so relegated for a week to the
