I only fix em dear boy would never dream of flying in one !!!!!!!

Oh stop being a silly A***e and pull the right lever !!!!!

Question?

When is an accident not an accident ????

Ans; When no one has got any evidence only speculation and rumour

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

If you really want to get technical if the aircraft was on the ground and was involved in a mishap whilst doing taxi trials ??.(like you could say the Victor was doing gov honest). Then if the alleged aircraft with the alleged incident that may or may not have happened does not even have to be reported !!!!.The alleged aircraft was not flying even if it had been it was not at the time of any alleged incident therefore providing it is airworthy the next time it fly’s and meets all the requirements of its permit etc then I don’t think that the CAA even come into it unless the alleged owner or engineers deem it as needing to be notified to the authority.If any such alleged incident happened then it will be between the alleged owner his engineer and the maintenance logs and his inspector.

We could hurtle down the track in one of our aircraft on the ground and suffer the same sort of thing we would not need to contact the CAA.If we left the ground then came down again bounced and wiped the gear out then that would be different.

But there again I am only making a hypothetical statement on something that someone may have dream t:diablo::diablo::diablo::diablo::diablo: anyway where did we put those spare undercarriage legs and doors and the fuselage woodwork we had for sale ????:D:D:D

Scully is definitely better looking

As I understood it at the begining of the war there was not a great deal of automation but with the push of Lord Beaverbrook and integration of the automotive industry such as at Castle Bromwich with the Spitfires and with Fords at Trafford Park things moved along very rapidly.

A very interesting subject I would be interested as I am sure others will on the definitive explanation of the actual pace of events and automation during the war.I am sure that it grew even further and faster once the USA came into the war as was seen by the way the eventualy produced ships and aircraft.

Seriously £25000 for 4 tonnes of aluminium? No engine….. What is the world coming to? I can get AIRWORTHY aircraft for less than that….

I could get three airworthy aircraft for that !!!!:diablo::diablo::diablo::diablo:

It would be cheap at less than half the price but unfortunately it aint going for less than half the price:diablo::diablo::diablo:

It must have gold plated ballastthat would explain it John ?????

Anyone want a flying flea for 10K all genuine honest boss !!!!!.One carefull owner from new :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Sorry being flippant again !!!!!!!! but I can think of a lot of aircraft I would prefer to invest 25k in and a widow maker aint one of them,in fact I am surprised its even hit the market .I thought they where on the old restricted resale policy like the sabres etc like a lend lease job when finished with they went back to the USA or at least uncle sam had the final word on what happens to them ?.
Or has things changed since I went into hibernation and that time slip back to ww2 ?.
