Beech Restorations Hangar Brunters 27th

Certainly was good weather, although my arms were stinging for days afterwards! (Really should have took up TT’s offer of suncream). Oh by the way, i’m the one that looks like a ginger smurf! 😀

beech SRA 9th June

It was a lovely day last saturday, lots of bodies meant we could crack on with fixing door slide rails and door sheets

all of the front is gonna be the same colour eventually

Bit to do yet mate – you know you have an open invite to Brunters whenever you fancy it, maybe get the tupenny hapenny hangar tour thrown in – You could even bring Rob if he behaves himself :diablo: 😀

Mumbling about Vicky and Darts havn’t a clue what you could possibly be on about Ben :rolleyes:

Next time Im at Brunty and your all not looking so busy I will def say hello.

Is Naval Encounter far of flying? Very atractive plane that oozes style (not as much as a……….. oh damn there I nearly go again 😀 ), loved the nose art really does finish of an atractive colour scheme.

Brill pics from the Cherry Picker Phil – SRA hangar doesnt half look smart!

Looking forward to the summer when it will be finished and perhaps we can get all the aircraft out to support Andy’s lot!

P.S.

You must have met Martin, shifty looking character, keeps on mumbling something about Vicky and Darts (or something) :diablo:

sunday

Hi, thanks for coming over, such a shame the weather was so bad.

glad you liked what you saw, it does show what can be accomplished if it is done right. What isn’t usually realised, is that most of the work on the planes was done outside between 2 forty foot trucks and a few roof sheets.

Had to keep busy sunday cus it was so cold. I was fixing some bolts on the doors.

next time, the front doors will be on and the hangar will be sealed from all that water coming in. Also we will show another Harvard we are working on and my kettenkrad project.

regards

Im not even going to comment on how diff your area looked to sunday when it was wet and grey.

Had a wander around the hanger and was impressed hugely by the standard of your work. I would have said hello and chatted but you all seemed so busy putting up a door, or i think thats what was been done 😀

sunday washout

Well Sunday Brunters open day was a complete washout as described elswhere but here are some pics of saturday.

didn’t manage to get the secret fuselage over or the kettebkrad

Nah it was crotch, but thanks for asking, pics please esp. lots of ‘x-plane’ :diablo:

sunday

Weather held for the preparations today.

all the sheets are on the front of the hangar now and all cleaned up ready for the wet hoards.

Guys, our hangar is the only shelter on the field. maybe we should charge for entry, only joking.

Didn’t manage to get the secret aircraft rear fuselage over to the hangar nor the kettenkrad but the volpar beech was taxiied over first thing and is there ready.

Beech is uncovered and clean, come and see us.

might bring the secret fuselage and the kettenkrad over in the mornig if it ain’t persisting down.

p.s. hope you are enjoying the wedding ben.

forecast

latest forecast indicates rubbish weather on Sunday, we have almost made our decision to keep aircraft under cover.

On the same basis, kettenkrad will not be on display outside, maybe inside.

hangar will still be open so please come and see us but we might be building or erecting lights or concreting or painting.

sunday

I believe you are correct

I should just say, if it is chucking it down with rain, all bets are off and the planes will stay under cover.

we will then caryy on building the hangar

wind

As far as I know wind is quoted as the direction it is comming from, hence a southerly wind is travelling from the south to the north.

Someone correct me if I am wrong please:confused: .

wind

Haha, oddly enough just checked the forecast – wind and rain!

Says the wind is ‘southerly’ but the arrow points upwards – does this mean the wind will be blowing towards the north (meaning won’t be too bad in the hangar) or it’ll be blowing towards the south (meaning it will)? :confused:

open end is facing north, thereore north wind blows straight in the front.

southerly we are ok.

You mean to say Rob your surprised the weather forecast for a bank holiday weekend isnt the best? :diablo:

Youve got a point chaps.

I can count on one hand the times Ive been to Brunty and everytime no matter when in the year the visit has been its been cold and bloomin windy.

Wont stop me being there on Sunday though. Will def pay your hanger a visit especially lookin forward to seeing the Beech.

yeah but you know what it is like at brunters on one of these days. Lovely all week (like now) then it blows a blue northern and rains. In which case you are in the best place.
