Good programmes, although they are repeats.

I hope the weather is favourable.

Well done on the work so far, she’s looking very smart.

I haven’t been to Coventry for a long time. When they had a 50’s-60’s type
airshow. With a finale of seven DC-3s flying in formation.

keithnewsome – Yes it was done by Air Livery, painted at lightning speed as well, it only took 4 days which is far shorter than I have ever known before. They must have been working around the clock.

Must have been a “helluv” a job getting those transfers on without creasing them, and a massive saucer of water 😀

I believe they managed to manufacture a few from scratch during the war! 😀

The question is could a Merlin be manufactured from scratch cheaper than you could buy one today and would a ‘new’ Merlin be permitted to fly on an aircraft?

There was a thread about it quite recently.

My question was more about the supply of the engines. Assuming you can’t get on the phone to RR, and ask them to send
you one. Or buy one on Ebay :rolleyes:

So where do they now come from ? I would have imagined there was a finite supply, even reconditioned/rebuilt ones.

What a lovely sight and sound.

good picture but the crop does work better 🙂

Agreed. Saying that, a shadow can work well in a photo, but not really in this instance methinks.

Where it could be effective, is at memorial wall with the shadow pointing at a name.
