Aeroplane Monthly Vanguard profile

Post by Paul K »

Its an aircraft held dearly here at CBFS, and is the subject of this month's Aeroplane Monthly aircraft profile. Also, a very good article by John Romain on flying Spitfire Mk I P9374, apparently 'the earliest configured Spitfire flown since 1940'. Yet to see her myself, but no doubt she'll be the new star at Flying Legends next year.

Anyway, a good issue of this great magazine! :)

See.. http://www.cbfsim.org/cb-bb/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=22388

It did go slightly OT once or twice so you can be forgiven for missing it :lol: Got my copy today and agree very much with what Keith said. I was a bit disappointed TBH but as you say, the rest of the mag is good ;)

Ooops, missed that. Ah well, you know the Vanguard better than most of us, Dave...along with Peter McC of course. Loved the Spitfire article; a Mk I flying from Duxford! The photos look just like A2A's Mk I at ACG's Duxford too. Amazing ! :lol:

Indeed :agree: It's amazing how Vickers Supermarine managed to match A2A's Spit all those years ago. 8)
