Was a good weekend. Both for being able to display and meet folk, but also the aerojumble was rather good! As well as getting bits for my projects, I even managed to pick up a few items like stick tops etc for swaps which I am sure will come in handy at some point.
Shame the weather wasnt the best on Saturday but had fun all the same 🙂
Roll on 2011 🙂

Before folk get too excited Mike tipped me off about this yard earlier in the year, so I contacted Ray Polidano at the museum and the reply was –
“Very sorry to report that the named scrapyard, that has been like a time warp for decades, has now been cleared of all the material in it.”
Oh well……… 🙁
Now back to panicking about getting 838 ready for this weekend!!

Whilst on the subject on restoring Finnish aircraft, any idea what is happening with this Vampire –

If still there rotting away any idea who owns it?
Jon
Whilst I doubt it is of much use – pictures on the net seem to indicate it was tucked in behind the Lincoln, with wing folded and facing the hangar doors.

Well it makes me feel better about VZ193 anyway! 😉
Best of luck to you with it.

Looking at the pictures, looks to be the front end of the F.8
Jon
Yes, been hunting today, and had some results!
I’ll drop you a PM now.

Any joy with the front end of a FB.5 pod yet? :p;)
Jon
Nice to see G-APSA has gained an interior again 🙂

Morning all,
Need a bit of help of possible 🙂
Is there anyone near to Maldon in Essex that is coming up to Cockpitfest and could also bring a 4ft x 4ft sheet of birch ply with them? Or failing that somewhere near the North West in the next few weeks? It is for the top skin for the LHS floor section as all efforts to source the correct material locally failed.
Thanks,
Jon
Just checking 🙂
Jon
For your sake, you happy the brake shoes arent made of anything nasty?
Will it be in “THE” book? :diablo:
Jon
Bigger issue is they are not for sale!
Jon
Blast, it seems several things were at Popham that I could of done with, including the attitude indicator!
Sorry I have missed it elsewhere, but does this mean you have a chunk of Vixen or are you building something up yourself?
