excuse me for sounding dumb – but will this stunning aircraft be a ‘flyer’
sorry if this has been covered b4
question answered via another thread….. i did wonder what the charred mess was by the drain when we were there today. shame
and one being slightly charred in places. 🙁
why’s that? did something happen to one?
2013 – wow. looking at it you would have thought sooner. just shows how much work goes into these things and how much work we dont see just by taking a eyeball round the outside.
i’m curious on a few of them as well and hope someone can help. The beau is looking good… is this gonna be flyable? same question to the sea fury as well….
we all knowwhats happeneing with the blenhiem but i must add that i prefer the long nose variant to the little stubby one they have got there.
what is happening with the fairey firefly?? looks a bit left out just sittting there with its wong propped up against the wall.
the vampire is also in need od some serious TLC – loads of paint just falling away from the ply (??)
answers on a postcard to the usual address lol 🙂
thanx for all the replies – its been a great help
even if it is, isnt it better to get her up to static spec and put her somewhere where she can bee seen in all her glory and apprecited rather than rot in a field……. this B25 has been discussed here at length so im not gonna go on about it. sorry to hijack the thread. looking very sorry for herself though…..
no hercs…. might be a warrior though….. i overheard a guy who was 15st being told that his and the instructors combined weight would be too much for the 152.
sorry for being nosey, im learning to fly there and was just curious.
who are you flying with at Stapleford? (bit off topic)
Cheers Yak 11 Fan.
call be dim but whats happening this weekend? wouldnt mind knwing as im free on sunday
super guppy – i actually wonder how things thing flew!
******* sick
isnt it just….. now, more exams, nav…. and all the other bits i haventmentioned…. forced landing etc…. wow.. so much more to do….. but thats one hurdle i have got over and what a feeling!
Janie – it was a PA28 G-BTGY from Stapleford
Damian – i was doing the same! once i was settled downwind i made my radio call them just sat there thinking ‘o my god im actually flying this thing!’ inbetween shouting ‘solo baby!’ – i almost forgot my pre-landing checks!! what a feeling….
thanx for all the replies – reading them has got me buzzing again! gotta get a photo on my next solo as i didnt have my camera with me! i idnt think it was going to happen because of the weather.
