WGHB

Hi Alex and all,

WGHB is curently sitting under covers in the back of out hangar, along with a large stock “new” ex RCAF T-bird spares (control surfaces, hydraulics, canopy, inverters, landing gear, speed brakes, wing leading edges etc, etc, etc). She’s had a little work done – the intakes have been cleaned, treated and painted and we’re half way through doing the engine bay. She’s a good, sound, low-houred, but previously neglected airframe. No real problems to overcome, other than a lack of time.

While it would be great to be doing more work on her, the PT-19 has been taking all our spare time, although that’s now at the stage that we can take a step back and enjoy the efforts that have gone into this.

Ben, hate to be devil’s advocate, but

did you ask PW before breaking this nugget of news?

You may well have done, and I don’t wish to spoil the fun, but this is PW’s private business.

Cosford’s Argosy

I popped in to Cosford on the way across to Wales a couple of weeks ago and was surprised to see an Argosy parked out by the gliding club, some distance from the museum. Is this part of the RAFM collection? Certainly hope it’s moved under cover sometime soon.

Who’s worried?! Nurse, nurse, bring me my valium!

Anyway, pleased to hear you enjoyed your trip with Dale. On a serious note, Anglia Flight is an excellent place to learn if you decide to take it that far, so best of luck.

Mel,

As I said, I’m happy for you to go take a look at the T-6 and will arrange it with the guys doing the work to show you around. I won’t be there though as I don’t have the time, especially now I’ve won a little bit of an ongoing battle with my ex. and am again allowed to see my son. Anyway, you’re more than welcome to go take a look at the six. Let me know when and I’ll let Ade and the crew know to expect you.

BW,

Phil
