There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

I watched some yesterday. The electric cars were very impressive but they don't make the right kind of noise!

Watched some of the feeds but other events in real life have been distracting us so could not put my mind into enjoying watching it.

I have worked at FOS for a few years great place and atmosphere, got to meet the Red Arrows team after their display and shake them by the hand, they gave me signed poster biggrin , think that was one of the highlights of the event for me.
It took about 5 days of work to set up the security cameras and video feeds to the FOS Control, 2005 was the last event I went to, you know I really miss going to these type of events and getting paid to do it wink

I'm not usually much of a motorsports fan but I was gripped by this. I think it's the short track and the variety of vehicles that run it. Usually I find such things boring.

Now this does sound right,and has held the lap record since 1999...

Alan McNish went up the hill a bit faster than that in a Toyota F1 car, from memory it was about 39 seconds but there was no official timing so no record, Nick Heidfeld was the last official F1 timed run so his record will still stand.

There have been some really spectacular cars going up the hill and some really strange soapboxes come down the hill biggrin

One of my favourites was the Hemi under Glass wheelie-ing up the hill

Being a Mustang fan, I'll post a couple of Mustang-specific videos from FoS this year.

First, a Mustang customized to honor the Eagle Squadron pilots of WWII:


And the remaining original Bullitt Mustang from the movie with the 2019 Bullitt:
