Thankyou for a fascinating account of one of my favourite actors, I sat and watched him only the other day (the man who shot Liberty Valence) and have the utmost respect for his history and his endearing manner.

I remember him on Parkinson in the 70s and would love to see that again.

Thinking out of the Box, has anyone considered Duxfords Avro York as a possible source??

It seems such a small bit to ground her, maybe most of these airframes have been robbed already. I guess S-Sugar has donated many spares in her life and at a guess the BBMF have gone down this route (and many more, home and abroad) The Avro York is a closer relation with it’s Lancaster wing than the Shack. We just don’t know what’s been done in the past to keep PA474 flying.

I guess that the guys from the BBMF are searching many sources this morning and the Shackleton here may be the last resort.

Tony said at the end of episode 3 that they detonate a charge the equivilant of a V2 in the next show saying it’s the biggest explosion in Britain since the war.
Does he not remember Buncefield???? Noway a single V2 would make a bigger bang :p

I don’t think they exploded the full amount due to atmospherics, they halved the amount then moved it closer to the buildings.

To keep you guys informed the boss of CAS informed me the corrosion on the engine panels is quite severe and maybe impossible to remove without damage.

We will meet up 0900 and have a look.

Fluffy will contact BBMF in morning and make sure we are all singing from the same hymn book.

we’ll go from there

Ben, if the old girl is up on bricks in the morning I know where to look!:D

Fluffy, is it a go?

Right, fluffy is this the same on the Shack as on the Lanc?

Any special tools to take it off?

Any backup if successful, on transport?

Baz

my quess is that they’re after a fuel c0ck lol, without spurring any further idle chitchat, have you perchance spoken to the chaps at east kirkby?

Im wondering if a shackleton fuel c0ck is similar at all?

And if you don’t want to talk to anybody, you still own 4 fuel stopc0cks in the Shack on the gate at St Mawgan (if Bens hunch is correct) which is only a mile away from me.
