Sadly i dont have a few weeks Fouga. On top of that the inerds have suffered with my attempts to free it so its now past being useful.

So now i’m after a working replacement if anyone can help and has one available? The stamps on mine are ASSY 394 MBE 1200 E-1118 if that helps.

just as well your not the wrong side of it trying to get out 😀

Given the weather these days… expect to see more 😉

Ha Ha good in one way but bad news if i start taking more pics of them round these here parts. ot could land on the fields behind my house at the mo if need be

personaly i would not follow the crowd on what has already been done and has been seen plenty of times on an airframe. there are a million colour schemes out there begging to be used on something else. it doesn`t matter what era either.

of course if its intended to be for bookings and airshows to make money etc then a sheep it must be. obviously not actualy a sheep coz that would be plain daft 😀

pilot has had a back op and treatment for burns but is back on the road for recovery. info via Bronco Team through Facebook

its also probably with abit of health n safety involved here. blades positioned in the correct way on a flight line or in military/aviation environment are fine becouse those working on and around them will be aware they are there.

the general public, enthusiasts and volunteers (perhaps in an authorised on site vehicle) however may not be of the same ilk. in the past ive seen a young but tall member of the Air Training Corps walk into a prop on the York at Cosford and almost brain himself..

there is also the “”lets see if this will move/bend brigade”” who will prod, poke & touch becouse the Devil on the shoulder says to “” DO IT DO IT “”.

red oxides ok as a protective measure but is generaly rubbish to paint over as the top coat sinks into it quite readily.. warm the ally up if you can before painting it as it has a great ability to attract damp and moisture. the primer/paint will cure quicker also.
