Nice pics, Low.

Only been to Sywell twice (first time by accident) so not an expert on Sywell but your pics really capture the charm of the place.

I would keep it as an F-4C but then again Im biased.

The first of the US Air Force Phantoms, and the first of the USAF examples to see service in Vietnam.

You may find this www useful if you complete as an F4C.

Seem to recall that there was some J47 parts on ebay earlier today.

Be something nice to put in your restored container.

Be warned though they werent very substantial parts. 😉

I never really understood the point of this one.

Surely if your going to put all that effort into a replica project you would make it a pure replica. Ok maybe you may change/improve the structure slightly but not play with the outline and dimensions.

Completly mad but he had a dream and went with it so proverbial hats off if only for the courage and madness of it all.

The road that leads around the site of the former Armstrong Whitworth factory at Baginton is called Siskin Drive. Unsure if any of the other roads around there have any aircraft related names.

Also remember as a kid going on holiday around Christchurch and a housing estate with loads of roads with aircraft names. Remember a Lysander Way. Memoray escapes me at the mo for others in the area. Im guessing that was the site of the old airfield.

Nah my six numbers are coming up Scotty. Sorry to dissapoint you there matey.

Maybe I would get another Vietnam Phantom to work on.

Its not like Ive got a lot on my plate at the minute is it? :rolleyes:

Yes I know Im not good on the ole heights Rob. 🙁

Although be honest to the forumites I am getting better. Getting me to go on top of the Vulcan before Chrimbo was an achievement. Well I saw it as one anyway. :p

Depends what you mean by power up Peter. There’s no engines in the Argosy so……………..

But we do have the ability to run electrical power through her so the internal cargo bay lights work and there is also a radio in the cockpit which is usually tuned into Coventry Airports frequency.

The work done in the cargo area of the Argosy makes it a fantastic exhibit thats full of atmosphere well worth a trip to come and see.
