Well, I particularily enjoyed the ground running of the 3 Rolls Royce engines, (you could actually feel the ground shake!) , it was a lovelly sunny day (sunday), what more could you want; didn’t see that many step ladders (so they obvioulsy weren’t a problem), but what is it with the wind breaks?.

I’ve probably been to DX 30 times in the last 8 years and only once or twice was the wind coming from the north, all other times southerly, or south westerly/easterly, these people have got the wind breaks set up the wrong side of them… that is if they are wind beaks ,and not just a boundary fence around their bit of DX.

Or if the engine wasn’t running on that cyl, which might be why he was checking the exhaust stub with his hand, looking for unburnt fuel/oil etc. (I bet Merlin Pete knows)

And what better way to allocate the fence line positions, get up early and stuff everyone else; I wouldn’t mind if they stayed at their post, but fixing their chairs to the railings,(so that they can wander for hours on end) is a bit like putting your towel on the sun lounger, didn’t we used to take a dim view of that?.

Is that an ejection seat sitting on the wing?

Supermarine in Australia have evolved their Mk26 80% design into a Mk26b 90% design.

I wonder if they will go all the way to 100%?

Come to Daddy… 😀

Unfortunately the price has evolved beyond the 12% increase in square area!

And that ones available with a v16 as well as the v12 Allison…..I think I’ll stick with the Merlin ; call me old fashioned . (or, when your ready, Eddie, you can call me Al)

In my humble opinion, the 1973 Mk IV with the uprated rear susspension was a dream…

However the 2.0 ltr straight 6 otherwise known as the GT6, when mastered was great fun.

:diablo:

Would that be the rotoflex? Personally I think anyone that has flush rivetting will handle the best…
