Why are people getting carried away with whether the wheel covers are inflated/keeping their shape? I’d be more concerned whether the sandy contents of the airframe will tear the structure apart as it’s lifted from its resting place…

I’m glad I’m not the only one who spotted the poster errors. Laughable!

Fancy a pay drop do you?

Not really Tony, no. Nor do I fancy living away from my family (I’ve done more than enough of that already). But with Humberside Airport just 20 mins away, it seems that if I decide to pull the plug on the mob, I’ll be adding to the time I’ve spent on big jets, which is most of my career. Warbirds are my passion (I spent 5 years volunteering at TFC, on a weekly basis), and like the lay of the land. Sadly, whether the money was there or not, it’s not the governing factor on whether I’d apply for the job, as logistically it’s jut too far.

I miss warbirds, very much.

Not meaning to sound insensitive, does anyone know what has become of the DH53 wreckage? If retained (which I’m sure it must have been) is there an intention to rebuild it?

I thik the P-40B prop needs looking at. The pitch of the blades is all over the place.:diablo:

Like others, I spend too much time wasting life on forums. If I’m not here, I’m on Lotus forums (I own one) and Pistonheads. WIX is good, and I banged out of planetalk years ago.
It’s all too easy to get passionate on forums and too many people troll looking for a keyboard fight. I used to work in warbirds but have no time spare to do that now, so I check in here every few days. I used to think it was desirable to have as many posts as possible, but now I consider that a bad thing! Just ‘stepping away’ from the keyboard makes a massive improvement in the quality of my life, I get loads done (and there are always loads of jobs around the home to do).

So, in short, I’d leave aviation forums completely.

Pagen01, can you tell us what the latest news is on the Gannet? I’m looking forward very much to seeing this on the display circuit.
