Thats not yellow tailed.

How odd is that:- D Bader 1910-1982, letter dated 6th September 1985 !!!!!! Surely someone spotted that one??????

Out of interest what would a geuine letter from Bader fetch at auction???

The Jet Age Museum reproduced a large set of Gamecock drawings.

Indeed they did, sadly however they have now passesd them to Retro Track and Air in exchange for a Crumpled Tyhoon fwd fuselage. I asked the question when down looking over their Gamecock earlier this year. They have given R,T & A sole use of them and although they have been approached no joy as yet.
Also the Jet Age Drawings have not been stressed so until they are they are not of any use for a flyer untill they are.

Slight drift from the thread, but does anyone know if there are any drawings etc for the Grebe?? We had then out here in the antipodes in the early 30’s and “twould be good to get something for the RNZAF Museum.

Hi Stan. Drawings etc for Gamecock and Grebe are hard to come by!! If you find anything at all I would be very Interested for an on going project. The AP’s for both Gamecock and Grebe are available and contain much usefull information. If needs be I can let you have a copy of both.

Having just got off a long flight from China maybe its the way I am reading it then!!
However having looked at the CAA document it apears to be concerning the transition of A8 approved companies moving over to EASA approvals.
You seem to say that this also includes A/C such as Chipmunks and all PERMIT A/C.There is a big difference between A/C on a CAA Permit and those such as Chipmunks and other vintaged types that opperate on a LAA, Light Aircraft Association, Permit to fly. Your inclusion of ALL permit type’s infers that Jo blogs building his home built A/C in his garage under the LAA Permit system will have to now go to a EASA Part M approved company!!!!
I have seen nothing from the LAA that the system for looking after LAA Permit aircraft, including the vintage types is about to change.

What ever the issue groups such as HAA, VAC, Dh Moth club work hard on our behalf to keep our freedoms. It was the casual way you seemed to dismiss this as you didnt need it!
As I say maybe Ihave read more into the coment due to Jet Lag !!

Does not effect me and we are already Easa approved, so we’ve been through those hoops already. 🙂

So im all right jack and sod the rest of you!!!!!

Hope you do not need support in you line in the future, as I only deal with A/C below 2730 kg does does not effect me either but I will still throw my support behind the fight against any threat to historic aviation in any form!
