EEP built component

Nice work Elliott!

Ah, I’d wondered why no noise from your direction after the Flypast short! Obviously too busy having fun in wokkawokkas… Looks like a fun day, and hope you got some useful bits out of that lot.

Just out of interest, what on earth is going on in the 4th picture? The chap in the foreground looks as though he has a cricket bat in his rucksack while someone else on the Chinook’s ramp appears to be being very travelsick!

(shall we let them have their thread back now?)

Hi Adrian

That was indeed us. Here are some pics for you – we spent 8 hours in that air that day and were able to bring down around 2 tons of parts.

Descending onto that hillside felt a bit like landing on the moon…

Cheers

Elliot,

Has any of the stuff Flypast recently reported as being recoveredfrom near Llyn Dulyn found its way to you, or is that a seperate project?

Hi Allison

Don’t worry – I am getting quite good at dealing with bossy nurses! The economics of the project mean that the large fuselage sections everyone will recognise will come a bit later.

Here are some pics of our outer wings in the meantime.

Cheers

Hi Allison

Looks like I have found someone keener than I am to see it finished 😉

Take a look at the website – it has been updated recently and has some pictures of some refurbished front turret parts.

We are slowly but surely getting there.

Hope the diving is going well.

Cheers

Coming from Dishforth I really want to see a Whitley out there. Please paint it in 10 Sqn colours. As I told you before my father was laid to rest in the cemetry there and there are rows of Canadian airmen there and I regularly walk down the rows reading them. One of them made me chuckle a little and he is an Air Bombardier called Kaiser and I thought it a bit funny that they sent a Kaiser to drop bombs on the Germans.

I did a check and www.whitleyproject.com is available so why not host that one so everyone can find it and see how the project goes. Have you got anything yet that looks like an aircraft?

PS: Being a Nurse I am highly trained at slapping around new doctors :p

Keep up the excellent work Elliott.

I hunted around until I got the correct link

Hello everyone

I bought this DF loop base a while ago for the Whitley. While the base is applicable to the old girl, the folded ali mount is not. It bears an EEP inspection stamp (English Electric Preston). The other part numbers start with SK and GR – very odd.

Anyone have any ideas as the mount is surplus.

Cheers

I have no idea but would like to know how the Whitley is going on. You have been collecting bits for quite some time and was wondering how long are we going to wait before we see a Whitley.
