Steve, you didn’t post the cone photo.

Speaking of photos, don’t you have some to share of a certain visit to you know where of a certain person sitting in you know what…

PS, Sorry I missed your last visit to the UK, but I hear you still had a good time at Old Warden.

I’m also sorry we didn’t get the chance to have dinner and to sample some of Mr. Hairyplane’s most excellent single malts and ports. I have now learned that a dinner by Nicky is well worth traveling 4000 miles.

Thanks again for all your help.

Hi Steve,do you need some help with the Fury,I’m a good worker,honest,I haven’t had a chance to air my BA sockets since I did some work on Fury 115 before it left Aust and all I have to work on now are some measly BAE 146’s(whinge & moan!!!)Its nice to see a hanger with real aeroplanes in it.Could we have some more Fury pics please,possibly of the engine installation.Best Regards,Pete

If you’ve got a multi-region DVD player, it’s on Amazon:

Two Lane Blacktop

Jim

I thourght it was a “four fifty four” 😉

Two Lane Blacktop… great film.. cant seem to get it on DVD or video ?? 🙁

It was……..in the film……I was just substituting capacities…. 😉 :rolleyes:

And no I can’t find it on DVD either, I’ve got it on a recorded tape somewhere from when it was last on the TV at some ungodly hour…….

Well, we took the prop off the Sea Fury and guess what we found on the data plate? Chevrolet? Gives a whole new meaning to the term “Big Block Chevy”.

Some time ago now, I was working on a Spitfire I can’t remember which one, and when we had the thing in bits, what was stamped into some of the engine castings “Ford”. That has to be the biggest 1.6 ford crossflow I’ve ever seen.
Can I come and work in your nice clean, warm hanger please.

Best regards to all.

An there’s me thinking that a 502 was the biggest production big block that Chevy built….. 😀

So modifing a quote from another famous petrolheads film,
“What’s that….a three-ninety-six?”
“No, a thirty-three-fifty”
“No, sh*t..!”

Nice One Steve………….I remember once fantasising with colleagues over the R-R Spit and it’s Griffon, we reckoned that: ‘V-12 48 valve 36.0i Kompressor’ on the side would give the ‘go-faster-stripe’ merchants a run for their money….

VBW,
