Was hoping that 2017 would be the year that we see Gannet AEW.3 XL500 flying.

Maybe 2018!?

The Fighter Collection's Sea Fury doesn't really count as new surely? They've just put some ruddy American donk up front - pah!

I'm with DragonRapide, the DH.9 is a very exciting prospect!

From New Zealand there'll likely be Rod Lewis' Mosquito FB.VI PZ474 and Jerry Yagen's P-39Q.

Time for me to start a new annual tradition: the FHCAM Stuka! :D

DH.9! Had forgotten about that. Mosquito OK, P-39Q too but Spitfires or P-51s are not exactly exciting prospects.

"Hurricane 501", V7497/G-HRLI must be a good prospect for 2018. Can never have too many Hurricanes, especially one with 501 Squadron heritage.

Surely 'new historics' is a contradiction in terms, unless they're all replicas?.
Whatever happened to the Proctor that was being worked on in ( I think) deepest East Anglia ?

I thought the Bobsleigh had flown? Seem to recall an open day-type thing. Or has that not occurred yet?

Was told by the other day the pilot of Hurricane V4797 hopes to be upside down at 300mph by the middle of next year!

Surely the shuttleworth spit is in with a shout too?
