My favourite plane at RIAT 2012. Owned by a charity, how long can they keep this last one flying?

All systems checked and engines warmed up, she starts to taxi towards the runway for her flying display.

I just couldn't get these little blighters in focus unless they were close up, and not when they were scooting a mile or two away up into the clouds. So this is an 'impression' of The Red Arrows, just the Magnificent 7 today due to two pilot fatalities in 2012
