T-6G TEXAN G-TOMC LATEST RESTO PIX

Hi All,

We were mighty busy at the weekend and have now mated the birdcage to the rear monocoque – she really does look like an aeroplane now, rather than a kids climbing frame!!

Next major step will be fitting out the centre section and undercart and dropping the fuselage on it…

Cheers then

TT

Lawyers? Sex? I thought their personalities acted as extremely effective contraceptives?

don’t forget we still have the u/c downlock problem to overcome otherwise we ain’t goin no place..

BTW folks TT just swanned about again, lighting up fags, leaning on trailers, didn’t even have the strength to pick up that star on the fuselage…..something about extremely good sex the night before drained him of all his energy

tee hee………..tee hee…..tee hee

Interesting looking restoration. Must try harder to get to Bruntingthorpe in 2005.

Is that similar to a streetwise ninkumpoop? I think my missis has a twelve year old example of one of those, we could let you have it for a small fee!

LOL! 😀 Aha! A schoolboy error tis a right handed one…the left handed version eludes us still!

Also looking for a counterclockwise ninkum pump (the later version) but ebay wont list it!

Blimey, it’s aeroplane shaped! Don’t reckon you’ll get much prop clearance with those wheels though matey. 😉

It’s looking good though, I like it. 🙂

I assumed as such, as the workmanship looks superb!

Hopefully starting work on Dak No. 2 soon 🙂 Never know, she might join you on the other wingtip!!
