do SECO huts qualify? i used to live in seco 7 at binbrook in early eighties. i beleive they were short term accomodation for temporary use during ww2. after that i spent the remaining time in a portakabin,ok but the showers used to freeze up during winter and you had to take a kettle of hot water to the shower to thaw the drain out first!

would this work?http://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/rust/electrolytic_derusting.htm

during the early eighties princess alexandra visited binbrook to present a new standard andarrived in a dove which taxied virtually up to the parade area. has anyone got any details please?six technicians appeared out of a minibus, dressed in white overalls and did all the checks etc and once the aircraft dissapeared they left.any ideas who they would be?

landraver, please e-mail me at [email]600bmw@tiscali.co.uk[/email] as i may be able to help you.

thats it! i was not an inspector,i was a storeman but we still had inspectors stamps.every bit of paperwork i ever processed was stamped with fps21

if you could find out which factories produced which lancaster parts you may be able to try and work out which department it came from.for instance it may have been some thing like Broughton East Shop

i also did 9 1/2 yrs as an raf storeman and used to have a whole load of lightning part numbers stored in my head. however after 20 yrs they are beginning to fade away although i can still remember a few.

flew in G-ADIA owned by stuart beattie. i have flown in it 4 times now, he is an excellent pilot and we seem to get on well together.

i dont have any aerial shots but i may have about 15 mins video of the whole event when it is eventually processed.

i fly vintage model aircraft and all through the year i make small videos of our flying sessions so that at the end of the year i can put all the clips together and make a small film of the years events. i then put them on cd-rom and keep them filed.i have 2 yrs worth so far.
