ummm…….

Can somebody explain to me why there seems to be an continuing embargo on free discussion about the proposed final destination of the airframe when this appears to have been openly discussed elsewhere for a number of months now?

seems to have been a bit of a lecture tour…….

Edit…..snap Andy!

I seem to recall a picture of a (the) UK survivor in an early edition of FlyPast Shame it didn’t survive into preservation.

Thank you.
Brilliant, I enjoyed every minute of that, and wished there was more.

Not aviation related certainly but given your interest in vintage wheeled vehicles you may enjoy these two threads on HMVF if you haven’t already seen them. Restoration engineering at it’s best:

The one on Wikipaedia looks nice in flight – reminds me of the Hilson Bi-mono

The Victory Show at Cosby in Leicestershire is a must-see

Jeepman, go on, you know you want to!:D Get someone else to hacksaw the grill out if you are squeamish:diablo:

We’re straying into G503.com or HMVF territory here….. so mods please delete if appropriate

I contemplated it for the next project, particularly as these guys do all the bits

But I’d only do it to a repro body. By the way they used bolt croppers to take out the bars on the grille – not a hacksaw 😉

Perhaps worthwhile to keep an eye out at Milweb – heavy vehicles and HMVF classifieds as well.
