Fingers crossed for a positive outcome Jon.

I remember regularly seeing the aircraft at Coventry as a child many years ago and from a personal point of view it would be nice to see her saved.

A link to some pics of her at Coventry from the periods I remember her.

Please keep us upto date with what happens.

It was good to catch up with you again Ian.

Must do it again. No doubt see you at Duxford now that I appear to have been converted 😉

The pictures youve posted really do show that although she is a bit dirty in places she is in a really good sound condition. I love the one of the fuselage from the side showing the washed and the yet to be washed section.

May only be small steps but at least we have started. 🙂

Saw this vid on another forum this morning.

Excellent stuff and as for the Hurri at low level rocking its wings waving……. well what can you say other than it really does hit the mark.

Thanks for the update Bruce and putting to rest some of the myths that are going around.

Well said Lindy’s Lad.

Wev’e been trying to get him to join the Guild but so far to no avail. Maybe if others on the forum could suggest it he would take notice. :p

Should be no excuse for him though especially considering the links that Midland Air Museum has with the guild.

By the way Ritch & Max, the Phantom is mine and Rob’s joint project at MAM (along with a few others who have helped along the way). Along with 101 other tasks that he has done on the Phantom, Rob is also going to be painting the Phantom Spook gunslinger image on the side of the intakes.

Although I wanted to have a crack I cant really compete with his art skills so……………………

I can’t wait to see what that looks like when its done.

See you finally started listening to us all Rob 😉

Very nice picture youve done there fella.

Not trying to get him sales (well actually I am, what was my commision again Rob?) but having seen originals of Robs work they look stunning. The scans really do miss a lot of the shading that is present on the pics.

I think you should share some of your other work with the forumites. The Nimrod’s rather nice and that Mossie you did for Gordy was simply stunning.

Come on dont be shy 😉
