I could do any of those dates except the first. The 2nd and 3rd options I would do from Canada.

August 5th to Sept 17th

October 28th to Dec 3rd

The Sept/Oct slot is taken by the Vampire GB, because of the anniversary of that. :)

Stuart, please let me know what works best. :grin:

We’ve already missed the 75th, so why not just do a simple USAF GB in an agreeable time slot to the majority and move along.

I can probably start late June (say start of 4th week). So if it ended July 31, I'd probably be OK whenever it started but don't worry about me. Go with what works for the majority.

Let's slot it into June 24th to August 6th; unfortunately, we'll not be able to please all the people all the time, so let's just have those as the dates.

True - I'm just thinking 75th Year - so anytime up till Sept 2023 suits me.

June 24th to Aug 6th.
I could be in that. Plenty of choices in the stash. F-100, F-101, F-104.

Cheers,

In 1947 and years after there was still a lot of pre-WW2 and WW2 aircraft in service. They just got a different name or number pre-fix, eg, from P- to F-
And perfectly allowed for the GB Fred. The F-51's etc. in Korean service would be a good subject.
