well, im suprised that there has been no mention of the beluga here so far, now that IS an aircraft that should have been shot at birth!!! also the A380, now that is (to me at least) ugly, but to me the absalute supermegafugly of an aeroplane has to be the hurel bubois hd 34

now that IS ugly.
Greg

its ok mate, i tand to confuse things a bit anyways. its going to be about three years or so before we get her to the condition we want her in though.
all the best,
Greg
hiya mate, the groud crew bit is what we refer to ourselves as, with her being grounded at the mo, she will not be flying but everything will work, got to say though, she looks far worse than she is. we are at the painting stage, and have started to fit out the cockpit, lots of work still to do though.
best regards,
Greg
Hiya Lee, the JP i’m working on is the one at the visiters center at the former RAF Metheringham (not far from RAF Digby), the JP is a T4, serial XS186, its owned by a mate of mine called Paul and i’m there most saturdays, we are aiming at getting all the systems fully operational.
aaaah the swift, i was involved with her first restoration, must be about 18 years ago now, i can see its been done again, am glad she is inside now. for a funny tale about the time i was working on her check out the thread about embarrasing happenings on here mate,
best regards.
Greg
Hiya Lee, thanks for the glimps into the museum, i am an ex member of Newark, work and family got in the way of me helping out there. will be paying a visit there again soon though, will pm you before i go and maybe meet up?. i am working on a jet provost restoration not far from Newark, will be calling after working on her some time.
best regards,
Greg
Hiya Mark,
thanks for sharing those pics with us. she looks in fine fettle. any idea if she’s airworthy?.
cheers and best regards.
Greg
Off topic but for info there is also a Jet Provost mk3 here as well, XM464.
Glad the pictures was of some interest, it was quite a drive off our intended route to find it!Mark
again off topic, Hiya Jagx, have you any pics of the Jet Prov?. there are a fave of mine y’see.
cheers.
Greg
Hiya Mark, thanks for sharing those pics with us, thought forsure this one would have been a scrapper. am somewhat suprised at its condition now, looks like they’ve done a fair job so far.
Greg
All this talk of Varsities has reminded me of this pic i was sent by en e-mail buddy, the pic credit info is on th pic.ever wondered what happens if the runway is too narrow?. 😮
