Phil Knew it was you straight away, is it your age catching up !
The T-6 would be a great addition to the day please bring it out with you
Good news about the Rub frame, we’ve been badgering DW for ages to get it moved, we have a guy with a big bulldozer just primed and ready to open up the entrance drive way, so the quicker you can make the Rub frame vanish the better.
Good news about you finally getting the tug and thanks for the offer of kit we might well take you up on it, Im sure you can trust us.
Any news on when your coming out the Hanger ?
Or is that just a case of keep it quite and they might forget you ?
Mind you if you drag it out on Sunday they might just lock the doors behind you !
Catch up on Saturday mate

Sorry Andy, didn’t realise it was you.
Still a wayse off yet mate……still doing the sparky stuff
all of the big bits are bolted on now…..gotta do the elevator trim, aileron trim, headlining, cockpit trim, passenger seats.
like texantomcat mentioned, bringing out the T-6 (if that is ok with you guys)
see ya saturday……..gonna start to take the bent parts of the rub hanger apart so david gan get is straightened…..he is then gonna put it up at the entrance to our hardstanding so we can pull straight out onto the perimeter track.
that is really gonna “P” tony off. He is gonna have to move all of his quality gear.
p.s. bought that big towbar of nev’s off him via ebay….he could have asked us if we wanted it….also, got that blue tug again…£325 from DT’s brother. Dave walton was gonna start charging them storage on and told us to put in a silly price and we would get it.
We have a mobile air an power supply if you need power or air over the weekend. single phase, 240 or 110 volt plus a great big compressor mounted on a trolley.
All available (tug, towbar and compressor) for use on site, so long as people look after it and put diesel in it.
see ya saturday

We could fast taxi her…backwards at about 30mph – that be ok? 😀
Not gonna fire up the Bucc(s) Victor and Comet then boys?
Now that I would like to see, the beech going backwards, great !
No the Comet, Bucc and Victor wont be joining in, its just an LPG day with a few extra’s, mind you Guy Hulme with Buccaneer XX894 has offered to do a systems demo now that they have it all folding, spreading and drooping, which is ‘nice’ of the them

Will the Beech be there then? Always look forward to seeing her, an interesting addition to the cold war jets. How about the Harvard? Haven’t seen that before either.

Guess where I’ll be on Sunday?
Nope – Flying to Bloomin’ Sweden… Given the choice I’d prefer Brunters. Still, there’s always the August one, if work doesn’t send me somewhere else.
