Although this thread seemed to drop away some time ago . I thought i might revive it with an update on XS 177. I have just aquired this old beauty . Plan to have it back in the MACAWS Colours for Static Display.

The best of luck with her, i have shed a few drops of blood over her whilst she was at Meg. You know that she has 1 Vole kill to her credit from when she was blown over in high winds.

Tremendous work Blue, it makes XS186’s paint job look like an afternoon with a spray can. Getting the right conditions when you are working outside is a nightmare.

It has been there a couple of years , as mentioned it is a composite from 4 different craft I believe, it is about a mile up the road from the Lightning at Thorpe Camp.

Probably the BBMF MkV, AB910, she had an air test yesterday. I saw her fairly high over Woodhall Spa heading North.

Thanks for those kind words, Ritch & Max. It is great to actually meet fellow enthusiasts and put faces to those who up till now have just been names.

Some photos of the engine installation.

A big thank you must go to Andrew who drove the fork lift, his ability to move the engine 1/4″ at a time made the whole job so much easier.

Eep

I have some sort of small fly stuck inbetween my computer screen

how the hell do i get it out? or do i wait for it to die and hope it does in the corner?

Cheers

Just open a Window and let it out.:diablo:
