I won’t say on the forum what I really think of you for putting that picture of me on here……………your a nasty man Bostin!!!!!

Please note forum chums. The images of the person under the airframe are that of a false nature! He asked me to take a piccy of him under there to make it look like he was working…….how cheap!!

Nice to have these photos posted Rob – is it possible to add captions to the less obvious ones?

I sometimes think about the possible dilemma at MAM and other museums of occasionally opening access panels/doors.

It’s great to open them and let people gaze at some of the internals but, perhaps, spoils it for someone who wants a clean pic of the aircraft. Hope anyone in that situation asks to shut them briefly for their pic.

To be honest with you Roger, no one has ever asked me to close them for a picture. I have, however, had numerous people say to me that it makes a change to see panels open as it shows that the airframe internaly is being worked on!

I suppose the morel of this story is ‘you shouldn’t of took your shirt off Rob!’

How silly am I?

I’m sure a forum meet could be possible at the museum, providing we have no other events on at the time. I was working on ‘Vicky’ as I call her, again today and did a fair wack of work on the tail, and as LesB has said, the sun is back of it’s hols……………I worked on that tail for about two hours and in that time took my t-shirt off for about an hour and a half……………..I am now suffering a little with a burnt back! I don’t need to preach to much but while all us aviation restoration freaks work on these machines, just take into consideration the power of the fire in the sky and how we work in it for lengths of time! Watch your back, neck, head or any other part of your body you wish to expose while ‘oh great light in yonder sky’ is with us!!
