    In the case of the bbmf they dont have the manpower to do a full overhaul so its best to contract out to arco where all the services are available to do the work in house.

    Next they will send all the Typhoons & Tonkas.

    You would have thought they would do all there own after all they have had 70 yrs to excell at it.:D

    The news comes amid reports one of the two pilots already taken to hospital has died, after two crew who were rescued by helicopter and taken to Inverness.

    Tragic loss.

    No air tools, lucky to have the use of elastitrickery sanders. Last time she was done it was out on the pan and ALL by hand:eek:
    Don’t know if anyone’s on with her this week, hopefully as I said Andre will be in splashing some paint on. We’re all back at our day jobs now, sadly 🙁
    You were lucky, it’s quite rare for the radio guys to be in on a Sunday.

    How can i say tell you without been rude……………:confused:

    He was an older Gentleman than the other two who i guess were in the late 20’s early 30’s.

    The radio guys should transmit from the Nimrod those HF antennas would be ideal for Amateur radio it would certainly get some interest to your site when they work the world from an aeroplane it ads some exitment, as a radio ham myself i would enjoy to work them.

    Hams opperate from light houses from ships, hill tops, bunkers, aerodromes why not a Nimrod those antennas can be tuned im sure for all of the hf bands is this something you could mention to them i don’t know how to get hold of them?

    Popped up this morning to see you working on Lindy at least the weather was great today hope you got something done.

    It’s a real shame the rest of the aircraft parked outside don’t get a lick of paint it’s been 6 years since i last went there properly for a look round and they do look scruffy.

    Highlight of the day was watching the race track with the Lambo & Aston Martin eating up the track.;)
