Is the Strikemaster G-FLYY still based up in Eglinton, or was it sold?

Angry Turnip · « **Reply #51 on:** March 01, 2014, 08:53:31 PM »

didnt even know we had a local Strikemaster !

although I see from the insurance details for it [small print details always get me] it was/is only insured in a non-commercial capacity ? take it that rules out displaying ? or maybe I was only readin a quote ?

When it was based / owned here it didn't display (it did used to come down and do circuits at St Angelo though

),but it did turn up at a few shows in the static park.

so , basically you can own a "warbird" , have it on "permit to fly" but not display it and simply use it as your own private aircraft and go for Sunday afternoon jollies in it just like any Cessna or whatever out of Ards ?

Yes,but if you want to display the aircraft you have to get a qualified display pilot who is current on the aircraft to do that for you,unless you have the qualifications yourself.
I would imagine the insurance would need to be beefed up as well for display flying.
Also the intended display would have to be checked and approved by a CAA examiner,doubtless it would be a major paperwork excercise.

When was the last year these aircraft actually made it over? - weather / serviceability always seem to be an issue

I wonder if it will be the two Lancaster at Portrush

Was thinking that myself. Although if it is the case that they'll both be there, it's pretty good bet they'll also be "doing" Prestwick.

I see this morning that Southend has been cancelled

TCX49 · « **Reply #61 on:** March 20, 2014, 12:57:19 PM »

Will that free up aircrafts for Portrush TTF?

Tango Tango Fanta · « **Reply #62 on:** March 20, 2014, 01:46:21 PM »

Tucano, Dak, Tutor had been allocated. Vampire had been booked too.

Tango Tango Fanta · « **Reply #63 on:** March 21, 2014, 09:49:25 AM »

Alan - no those were the aircraft which had been allocated to Southend and in theory are now available

Yes the website does currently say that but BBMF has confirmed both days. Now.....if we could only get these Canadians.....!

Any fast jets on the cards?

Shame that the RAF Typhoon is in Switzerland both days

jasT1981 · « **Reply #72 on:** April 16, 2014, 12:46:57 AM »

Will probably end up going up this year. Anyone know how far the East Strand is to the Train station?

The Gaffer · « **Reply #73 on:** April 16, 2014, 12:57:25 AM »

around half a mile to the carpark at East Strand, dunno how far along beach from there you will need to be for a good vantage before aircraft have to manoeuvre to avoid overflying the town though?

Hopefully TTF will have more details

jasT1981 · « **Reply #74 on:** April 16, 2014, 01:03:53 AM »

Would the Dunluce Centre tower be any good? lol. Or is that on the west side? Have not been up to Portrush in years

edit: Nevermind... It closed. Would have been a great view from it looking on google maps.
