She has a full season booked, check the website, just let’s hope she never goes tech engine wise at any of the displays, as that may then end up as her final resting place, not Doncaster.

I just hope it doesn’t go u/s for the sooties/sumpies.

The only thing I could offer would be personal experiences of the types I used to service in the RAF.

Well from personal observation I can say it’s true in the ’70’s & ’80’s. All the a/c I saw being painted were masked for the camo schemes.

Thankyou Edgar. That is very informative.

They didn’t have any masking tape?

B25 is ex Duke of Brabant Airforce. DoB merged into RNLAF Historical Flight a couple of year’s ago. Dukes of Hazard used Dodge Chargers! That’s a different story.

Hmm, I remember someone calling them that once..

I take it the B25 is ex Dukes of Hazard?

Oh I don’t think any war is in danger of breaking out.:)

Sorry, just a joke 🙂

Er gentlemen. Before the flamewar really gets going. I would like to see if they get a Jag flying again. As for the paint scheme.
If they choose their own, it’s their money so be it. If I had the choice it would be in II(A/C) colours. That’s just a preference.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

I believe one of the first uncontained failures (turbine disc) was caused by mis-matching the NGV’s during a rebuild in RAFG.
Isolating the pumps is a good move but can you also blank off the feeds to the galleries?

Actually as I said, the amount of fuel left in an empty tank was normally an amount required to make the air/fuel ratio rich extinct. Too much to catch fire. Explosion suppression measures would be required if you drain the tanks lower than their normal empty level, that or drain it until the ratio is lean extinct.

Is there fuel residue in the tanks? Normally an empty tank has enough fuel in to keep the tank safe from exploding and to ensure the thiokol (PRC) remains good. Otherwise a visual inspection of the faying areas on the inside would be worth a go, checking for loose sealant.

Phenolic composite = phenolic asbestos.
