I’m only young. I have BIG ideas. It’s not a valid excuse. We don’t have the luxury of time just because we are young, we just have slightly more than the older wiser members. It also means that we are going to have less real world experience than them in this subject, so it might be worth listening for once, because we’ll screw up a lot more. I for one have no worries about asking these guys for help.
My current project began in 1999 and its not back in the UK yet. I have a few realistic targets for the next few years, which I only shout about occasionally, and which take up most of my free time.
I AM considering that Shack nose section. I know it is gutted and most of the bits went into the Shack on display at St Mawgan, and that it has skin damage around the radome area at least.
I have investigated costs of transportation, from St Austell to Chesterfield. Storage. Making a custom trailer so I can move it later in its future.
But, it is a Shackleton, it is worth saving, and its construction is very similar to its predecessor the Lancaster. A nose section will help me build on the neccessary skills I need to use on a full airframe.
But this is the last you are going to hear of it unless the plan works. The reason being I don’t want to look like a right pillock, and cause everybody not to take me serious next time I try something.
Regards
Richard
