RE: Umpteen thousand rivets !
For all you Shack Fans – the corrosion inhibitor in the engine cooling systems is – “Sodium Mercaptobenzol Thiazol” or NaMBT for short!! I just thought you might like to know!!
I dropped into Mildenhall in a Shack many years ago, we were there to pick up diplomatic clearance to go to the States. While waiting by the aircraft a disbelieveing American Chappie asked me where we were going “To the States” said I, “What fer, a bet ?”” was his reply. Anyway, we went via Iceland and got back to Kinloss in one piece, so i wish it had been a bet!

Very nice! I want it to get back into the air too. I’ve never seen one fly… I think I’m a deprived child!
