Would you buy a used airframe from these guys?

In the New Year I’ll see what (who :diablo:) I can get set up for this summer’s ‘Special Fund Raiser’. 😉

WL405

It came very close to departing for NZ and restoration and preservation
permanently indoors, earlier this year.

Glad to see it displayed in a most appropriate space it was looking a bit sorry for itself at brunty

Big smile?

Yes, wouldn’t you?!

Stacey24b, in answer to your earlier post: we have been offered external display space at Hooton for a Meteor and this will be reassembled by about spring 2010.

Colour scheme and markings will be silver in 610 (County of Chester)/611 (West Lancs) colours port/stbd as both squadrons flew Meteors from Hooton 60 years ago.

Call it what you like!

Call it whatever you like, you had a smile on your face like a kid at Christmass!!!

Swing?

Swing? That’s my new 3-axis flight sim!

Mike’s new swing?

I love Jon’s pic of Mike playing on his new swing. Santa came early this year!!
But seriously, a great day out at Brunty, and always a pleasure to meet up with these guys. A job well done, with smiles all around, and sorted quickly as well.

Mind you, Jon didn’t look so happy when they drove off without him!! I guess Mike was in a hurry to get his new toy home, or was it something he said?

And Howard, speaking for the Leicester lads, we are always up for helping a good cause.

Merry Christmass to everyone out there in Aviation Preservation Land, and here’s to another great year in 2010.

Would you buy a used airframe from these guys?

Do they deliver? trailer looks a bit iffy, one of the wheels has come loose……

Or how about whack the Piñata complete with occupant….? 😀

Jon

Ha !Ha !

Ha ha !!!
Shifty bunch if you ask me.:cool: are you sure that wet sponges are the weapons. ( In Coco-nuts or dipped in paint.)

Brave men you Volunteers,—- should generate a lot of money. (And laughs )

:diablo: Why did this thread suddenly go quiet? 😀

In the spirit of Cockpit-Fest, Christmas etc I’ll guarantee to do half an hour ‘as a target’ if the other forumites do the same – any money raised to go to ‘Help for Heroes!’ 😀

Footnote: ONLY half an hour as a ‘target’ should be a breeze for me!!!

Ok, I have a better idea!!

OK
I have a better idea!! Let’s re-creat the photo using Bill, Howard and Ken!! Wonder who would get the most hit’s? my cash is on Bill!!!

You’ll be in the line-up too TwinOtter23:D, we’ll make sure of that.

Not a pretty sight, I’ll wager!

Yes Ritch, good idea – as long as you are in the line-up too!

:diablo: Dear Mr O’Sullivan, at Cockpit-Fest 2010 the following people have volunteered to ….. :diablo:

and the wings i presume

Wet sponge idea

Yes Ritch, good idea – as long as you are in the line-up too!

Anon.

Wet sponge anyone?

Howard
What do you recon to us re enacting that photo at Cockpitfest 2010, and selling wet sponges at £1.00 a go? Just to give the aircraft a wash of course!!! And all in the name of charity!!!!

Don’t worry, you won’t have to, it’s not for sale! This is my Christmas present – from myself.

This one’s destined for Hooton Park and, yes, it’s WL405. Centre section and tail end to follow in the New Year.

A big thank-you to Ritch Blood for organising matters at Brunty, helping to load and, as ever, making us feel very welcome today.

Merry Christmas everyone.

L to R: Anon, Jon H and Pully113.

Not yet another reason to make the looooong journey to Millom is it ???? 😮
