I have a mint condition set of Auster MK 6 skis if anyone is interested
now that England has more snow than much of Canada:)

I’m still interested fleet, if the price were right…
Any chance of some photos when you get a minute…

It is a real shame what has happened to this aircraft, however just to balance things up, I think there’s a fair few Egyptian artefacts sat in the British Museum that they would quite like back!!

Great, well done. Someone called it a hanger not a hangar. Make him feel good about it why don’t you….

There’s a chance to go and save something historic but instead the spelling police step in…

Pathetic.

You have just quoted an isolated statistic that tells us nothing except that 651 died at work in 1974. Fear we may be drifting some way off the original topic.

You’re absolutely right. My apologies. I hit post without reading that through.

Anyway, the point is that before the 1974 legislation, hundreds of people lost their lives every year at work in the UK… Compare that with 2014-15 when 92 people died at work, and I think its clear to see that its not H&S gone mad. Its just about making sure that people get home to their loved ones at the end of a days work.

And I don’t think its thread drift. Its a major factor in the high cost of restoring this ‘aircraft’ (replica).

Its already here! Its been in the UK for some time now.

Warhawk… The spares ship is here at Scampton, but the flyer is yet to arrive.

Given that 558’s permit doesn’t expire until May 2016, I’m surprised that they aren’t planning a FINAL spring time airshow next year.

Why do people see it as a ‘waste’ to have a hurricane in static when there are already 5 flying? Surely 5 in the air and 1 on the ground that people can see up close it better than 6 in the air that people can only see from a distance? Each to their own I guess but I thought it was great to see the Hurricane and Spitfire together in the static.
