Mike

Stu sent you a pm.

Just a quick question guys with the problems loading are you trying to join an dlink up via Facebook ?or via the site address ? we did have a problem last night with the facebook side of things for some reason.

I did post earlier that I had a copy of the Pilots notes and would be willing to part with them if it would be of any help:)

Yes Please

Go on then I will throw my hat back into the ring.

I cant say which Shaclleton it is but thing slooked bleak for us when we were told that we could not be considered for the aircraft in question because we had a private sponsor who wanted to keep the aircraft not break it and pay for it to be restored to ground running taxiable state if possible.Its new home would be in the North East (ish)of England.

We have done all the leg work we have a company with 5 transporters ready to move the aircraft and keep her safe not scrapped as has been suggested if she does not find a new home. But we have been told that the new owners must be an organisation not an individual.Anyway we HAVE now thrown our hat back into the ring with a vengence on behalf of two organisations to save the aircraft and it go to the same organisation.We have been recently told that there ar etwo other organisation sinterested but with all due respect to them and to be blunt they dont have the sponsor with the funds available we do (growlers dont move for peanuts).And also th eother alledged parties we feel probably want to break the aircraft for spare.

AND NO ITS NOT THE LONG MARSTON AIRCRAFT!!!!.:diablo::diablo::diablo::diablo::diablo:

I am begining to wonder if I should have tranferred the whole lot to the “What have I got myself into” section of the foum !!!!.

The volume of stuff coming through is brilliant guys I have also been put in touch with Nils Hjelmevoll whi is well up with CGI and 3D and apparantly has done an extensive amount on the Whirlwind and has generously offered to share all his material.

I think on the colour scheme why cant we have the “Spirit of Yeovil” with “Crikey “on the nose and each squadron code one on each side ?.I know its not 100% correct but it does reflect the aircraft and its service and the work that has gone into keeping its name alive ?.

Thanks guys for your responses greatly appreciated keep them coming we need some variety and stuff for not just posters or paintings ultimately.

Mike E

Thanks for taking the time to reply Mike.

I hope I didnt come across as trying to be awkward. All I was trying to do was raise a few pertinent questions that others may have been thinking but didnt want to ask.

Jon

No problem dear boy its perfectly normal for people to want to know who?,what?,and where the money goes and what its ultimately for.
Unlike sadly some organisations past projects that had problems we wish to ensure everything is dead right and no one can come back and say “well we did not know that” or “why was it done that way”. Ultimately if everything is transparrant no one fall sout with anyone else and for my way of thinking thats how it has to be and always has .

NEXT ?

Mike E :diablo::diablo:

..or maybe all contributions to the fund over a certain amount get the option of a model Whirly?

Firebex, would this be a better idea?

The number of contributors and offers of help so far mean we have to at least double the number of kits so far offered to the project !!!

Like the idea of using a standard kit that is available as it makes producing things for them easier. I accept that the Airfix presentation kit is perhaps not the ideal way to go I dont have access to the alternate supplier but if someone else does great stuff !!!!!.
