Best of luck. You’re doing a great job. I’ll remember you if that lotto ticket comes good 🙂

We’ve be building it for 10 years and we always say ” a couple of years” but this time it looks as though we will have completed it by summer 2015. We will be returning to the workshop to cover the aircraft soon, now all the flying contols have been wired up.

We then will have to buy the flying wires, anyone got a spare £6000 lying around?

Looking beautiful. Any idea of the time-scale for completion?

It would be nice, but Shuttleworth does tend to be a little insular in its views at times.

Looking great

I wonder if there’ll be any chance of her visiting Shuttleworth, to fly with the Camel, Pup & Triplane, in the future ?.
