    Ever thought of contacting Bombardier in Belfast? I’m sure there must be somone there who could tell you the quickest/safest way of taking it apart. Looks a good project, good luck.

    On the subject of walking up Snowdon, I did it with my Dad when I was 11 (long time ago) and would recommend everyone to do it once in their life.
    Anyone not ventured up to this part of the UK yet then do it there is so much on offer.
    RAF Valley for mil flying, all of the Snowdon National Park to explore (jets flying over your head), great beaches (more jets flying over your head) and if your in to biking then we’ve got one hell of a coastal bike route, but watch out for the low flying jets again.
    Oh and on the way back home stop off at Hawarden and watch the Beluga’s flying the Wings out of Airbus.

    Visited there when I was an apprentice in 1970, they were building 748 fuse and wings at the time, great shame, another highly skilled UK work force lost forever.

    Sales man spin or what! Lets hope everything as written comes to pass. Very easy to sell something, but alot harder to build and deliver on time and as described in the sales leaflet.

    Was the Spit in question the same airframe that sat outside in the Overloon museum? —- as seen by me in 1969 with a birds nest in the tail!

    Missed in the Mist

    Stood on the bank of the River Dee this morning at Queensferry thinking i might get a shot of the BIG BIRD after she had done a pass over Airbus at Broughton, gave up after 45 minutes and as I was walking away,—- yes thats right it flew straight over where I’d been standing and turning flying parallel with the A55 towards Hawarden village.
    T’was rather misty at the time so a clear shot would have been out of the question. This happened about 12..00 noon.
