The problem is, it lacks a scale

any body watching, this thing is big, it is about 18 inches square

hope that helps a bit

Are you suggesting that i may be wrong in my identification!!!

it looks very sad and as i mentioned before, nothing much happened to it since it arrived (or so it appears)

They have got everything they need, seats, instruments, the lot

their plan was to put it onto a flat bed lorry/trailer and let kiddies clamber up into the cockpit.

Bit high in my opinion

I did this with XV489….but because it was on it’s belly it was just about ok

would hate to clamber up to that height myself

Still in the same condition as when it left Bruntingthorpe in about 1999.

back is a bit cleaner and that is about all. Still no seats, IFR probe still out

I had this Nose section and XV489 at one time….489 went to holland…..she was completely refurbished in about 2 years if i remember correctly…

I am led to believe that the “new” insurance rules put the old style nose configuration for this a/c into another insurance catagory (because of weight difference) and thus not financially viable

i understand the early nose is going to be fitted so it can remain in the lower catagory.

Ah, Bod it is you….didn’t know you went under that disguise

DB I think i will be present when you have your little chat……..should be good for a giggle

Saying something daft then huh….we will see, maybe the way it was phrased but that is another issue

as for you mr TT what do you mean pies

my shoulders are broad enough and my belly is fat enough to soak up all of it
