  • she looks to be an incredibly versatile machine for her size! i hope we see her again this year :)

  • Yer she is but i dont think we shall her being flown like that this year we will have to wait and see!!

  • I wasn't aware of that i'm in Australia...and haven't kept up with much of the UK aviation news of late....but I know the scheme was abysmal.

    I love the 'drone' livery...this is the only vid i have seen without that dreaded drink logo all over it.

  • Ok cheers for your comments she performed two seasons 2001/02 in her drone markings then Red Bull stepped in but this did keep her flying untill 2007 and i do have some vid of her in those colours which i will post at a later date hope you enjoy my vids check out my others and i will be posting more from my arcive each week.

  • I do respect Red Bull for keeping her in the sky...I just wished they had been less intrusive to the originality of such aircraft (Swiss B-25...ditto...) but then again..i'm sure we'd all rather hear and see her shape in the sky than mothballed (as she is now) so kudos to Red Bull....

  • I agree with you she was a massive flying advert for Red Bull have to admit the drone colours are fab.... have you seen her new colours though!?

see all

  • If you have to paint a De Havilland yellow, it has to be a Tiger Moth... :P

  • Phantom - possible.

    Lightning - no spares, very very expensive, something to do with the control/fuel system that makes the aircraft dangerous, very complex.

    Victor - same as Lightning, apart from the control thing.

  • You've probably been asked this before a thousand times but why is it we are allowed to fly Sea Vixens, Sea Hawks, Hunters and Vampires in this country but not Lightnings, Victors and Buccaneers (Or a Javelin would be nice)? Also, why don't I see any RAF Phantoms flying in private hands? Sooo glad the Red Bull/Extreme sports brigade got their God awfull paint job off this thing. Thanks for posting.

  • Fantastic! I rememer seeing this display at Culdrose.

  • No I haven't...is it the Squadron camouflage look?

    ...or have they chosen another interesting scheme?

    I loved the Drone look...the high vis scheme is a crowd pleaser!
