A heartfelt thank you goes out to forum member and enthusiast Ross McNeill for securing oxygen economisers to complete the interior of Halifax NA337. Ross had posted to me which I delivered to a very happy restoration crew last week. The centerpiece of the musuem has been in need of these economisers for a while now and thanks to Ross for his generosity. I personally know some of these labourers who have worked on the Halifax since its arrival in Trenton years ago and to them to see their labour nearly completed was a joy in itself and those economisers are the last piece of the puzzle. Once again Ross wish you had of been there but from myself , Bill , Guy, Stu and the rest of the fellows there thank you, Darrell

Thanks fellas, well my folks are Scots, so I guess Im in there somewhere eh? the boys said they could use a couple more econos, Cees I hate to tell you but I sat in the pilots seat for about 15 minutes! quite an experience for sure. Ross thanks again for your generousity, hope those fuel***** work to your liking, and yes funny how individual people can meet the needs of others when called upon, all the best Darrell
Hi Darrell,
Well, I have sat in the pilots seat many times as well but it’s lacking a fuselage at the moment (matter of time):)
I have said before and will say it again that the participants on this forum have helped the various projects and we all benefit from it.
How about a list of missing items that NA337 still needs? Contact me about the shipping details for the economizer and I will make sure it’s sent over.
Cheers
Cees

Ross,
So basically the Scotts and Dutch are the same.
If another one is needed for NA337, you know where to find me. Shipping is on me as well.
Cheers

Don’t tell a Scotsman that he could have had it for free instead of buying it!
It sets my sporran all of a nervous quiver.
Yeah, bought one from Cees, four from Alan, boxed them up and sent them over to Darrell, he kindly released a MkII Anson fuel **** control box that he had.
All circular deals based on trust which was not abused by any of the parties.
Role model for other museum wants lists being serviced by individuals rather than other museums?
Darrell..Cees has another, have we satisfied the Halifax project needs yet?
Regards
Ross

Well done to all,
Ehmm Ross, did that include the economizer you acquired from me recently?:cool:;):D:diablo:
If so I would have donated it instead of selling 🙂
By the way, I have still one left……:rolleyes:
Cheers
