Talking of B25'S

Barry Parkhouse’s B25

Hello chaps,

Following on from John’s comments, the Director of Booker is not Barry’s best friend and i dont hold out much hope for Barry being given permission to rebuild/restore her on site at Booker! I hope i am proved wrong here!

My having to move XM172 pretty pronto in order to save her from the real threat of being crunched up by a third party brought in by the Director did cause me some grief and at some cost!. I got caught up in the crossfire of the politics of Booker and it wasnt nice!

Good on Barry to save this lovely aircraft….

So, anyone got an update on whats going to happen now?

Fly safe, Neil

It does help Dave, I was also a bit worried about the airfields stance on things after their handling of XM172 and the Hunter but that I’m sure is a whole other story.

I was worried about my origional post as I wish not to cause any offence, From what I have read and seen Mr Parkhouse appears to have an uphill strugle on his hands but in my eyes he seems to be doing a bang up job saving an airframe, my best wishes go out to him and all involved.

Regards,

John.

Sorry to say this (and perhaps couse offence) but there is no undercover storage at Booker and when I saw her last she was unceremoniuosly stored balanced on top of a container.

John,

This is because Barry is investing in the future at the site, starting with tarmacing the yard, which is why everything is off the ground at present as well as a general tidy up.

Hope that’ll ease your mind ? 😀

I fear that the reasources are not there to make a reasonable re-build to static condition, there are lots of other things that make me worry about her future but only time will tell.

If anyone has some recent pics of her or any info on future plans then it would be nice to hear from them.

Regards

John.

Thanks John, i knew she had recently changed hands and was in a disassembled state……Perhaps i am being too impatient but i am looking foreward to seeing her after a bit of tlc ! though these things take time of course.

Bedsheet Bomber is now in the hands of Barry Parkhouse at Booker Airfield, see this thread……
