    Oh what a nice world we live in…… 😡

    Is it worth checking with the local scrappys as well or at least making them aware just in case?

    Hi Mark,

    We have a couple of ex Dan Air guys who no doubt worked on her in service so will have a word with them.

    Looking forward to the next issue! Caernarfon’s ‘Two in One’ Flea story has had an amazing turn of fortune! Could it be Millom’s ‘Two into Three’ ?

    Possibly the fastest reversal in fortune for an airframe.

    Pagen – the preservation movement as such has no weight! This forum has more influence in preservation than the bodies outside of it.

    Jon – I havn’t forgotten the Alvis!

    Not bad going for an airframe reported as destroyed last year is it!

    Need to see what state the fuse is in first then go from there. Couple of forumites have PM’d me (guys will respond to you all tonight when i get home 🙂 ) about it so there are options if there is enough worth preserving.

    Right then folks – which airframe you want me to save next!? 😉 😀 (I am joking by the way!)

    Just checking you hadnt forgetten about the engine David 🙂

    I do know someone with a Prince Alvis Leonides which should be available.

    David – can you PM me some details so I can persue this?

    Cheers 🙂

    Glynn has just phoned me to say he has found the remains of the Flea and that it is currently being soaked in worm killer. 😮

    Hmmm thought that would be needed – guys let me know the cost and will reimburse you. Albeit a new can of worm killer when I get up to visit! 😀

    Did you notice an HM.14 Flea shaped piece of wooden packing amongst it all ?
    .

    Allow me to expand on Dave’s comment.

    In short I am 99% confident we have also saved the Flea – totally by accident!!

    Having spoken with the working party that went (I was unable to attend that day), it looks like on the return trip for MLZ’s fuselage and other bits our guys have used it stack control surfaces on.

    So having spoken with Caernarfon if we indeed have it, then we have come to an agreement for me to take ownership of the little beast! 😀 Not sure what to do with it yet but big thing is it will be safe and sound in the good care of the chaps at Millom for now.

    Once again a HUGE thanks to Mark & Glynn up at Millom – without their help we wouldn’t be were we are now.

    Cheers guys – we owe you one 🙂

    Before everyone gets too carried away that whole area is a building site now….

    Also a few of our guys were there this morning collecting the rest of MLZ and mentioned the site had been completely cleared. Sadly I think you will find its 5 days too late…

    Yeh, and i can’t believe in this day & age they chucked an original Pou in the bin 😮

    If 300+ year old cottage beams can be treated for woodworm, i’m sure a static Flea can. At least they could have offered it around…:mad:

    .

    You ever have one of those eureka moments when something suddenly falls into place???

    Whilst looking through my pictures from last weekends efforts at Caernarfon guess what I spied to the right of the double doors in the background…….
