Well will have to keep an eye out if it’s back on the box to watch the latest on recovery.

All those wrecks just a pity getting to them is the major headache.

IIRC there is a course sponsored by BAPC which is held at Duxford(?) specifically geared towards conservation and restoration.

Nice one john but what about the other museums undertaking classes?

Maybe on a smaller scale duxford for some is just a little too far to travel for a class in restoration.

undercarriage legs are these sorced from spares or made new?

Yes good point about the age of staff i bet there 45 plus i maybe wrong but we do need to teach staff why not hold a course on doing it & get younger staff interested?

Lots of trades are getting lost if these are to survive it’s time to act or wave goodbye in 40yrs.

If the drop tanks are full can the fuel be sucked out and fill the other tanks before dropping or do you just have to use it first then drop?

Can’t have been much fun in a city if you dropped the tanks from 12 thousand feet but then again neither would a bomb!

Old Dennis in the interview did a great job of selling it NOT.!

Make a cracking museum or helicopter workshop a shame to knock it down plenty more places for another housing estate.
