In five hundred years, men will refer to The Diary of the Flash alongside that of Samuel Peyps as a literary classic.

An extra hour of daylight after work means more opportunities for flying, so yay for DST!

Does anyone know if Bruce still flies his triplane? I was watching that programme the McGregor brothers did on the Beeb last night about the RAF's 100th aniversary, and obviously for the early bit they went to the Great War Display Team. Bruce's triplane is the one you see taxiing but I couldn't decide if I thought the pilot was Bruce - it might have been him but he was only on screen for a few seconds.
For that matter, did anyone else watch the programme?

Mother Albie is the best.
I wish you'd brought her to the O2 on Saturday. She rocks.
Damn, missed that. The display team always did some events without Bruce, as far as I know. I can check with a fan.

Hopefully it was him. Was he climbing like a monkey?

Keeping an open eye on the Weeping Angels.
She's off to see them again on the 11th. The one thing in will say about her, she is quite eccentric, which is always a good thing.
There's always next time!

Thanks. From the Team's website Bruce is not listed as a display pilot for 2018 (I don't think he was last year either) but other info on the site indicates he still owns the plane. It's logical that the displays are going to clash with Maiden tours sometime but he may allow others to fly the plane in his stead when that happens. If you know someone with "inside info", I'd be very interested in what they can tell us!
You can still watch the programme on iplayer for about a month
.I assume so
.One of the triplanes "shot down" the McGregors but I don't remember which one - they were using a camera attached to the triplane to give a "pilot's eye view" at the time.

I know! Hopefully all of this apartment hassle won't interfere with that. I'll try my best not to let it!

@Black Abyss Babe, @Brigantium - I see that the Great War Display Team will feature at RIAT, which I am attending this year Bruce is obviously not going to fly that weekend as Maiden are playing Portugal on Friday and Spain on Saturday, but I look forward to seeing those planes anyway.
