    Hi Oz

    Will maybe re apply to German Embassy and contact the Bronco group. We have spent more than we wanted on maintenance and are trying to go from C of A to permit as a means to simplify matters. Fixed costs, insurance, hangarage and maintenance about £6k pa before you put fuel in it or money aside for engine and prop.

    Having said that, once up we always enjoy the experience and the D27 really can land on short grass strips and leap out of them with 270hp and a big wing with slats, flaps and drooping ailerons. Cruise fuel about 45 litres an hour.

    It would be a finishing touch to have it in German or Portuguese colours will follow your lead.

    It will of course require something more permanent than blu tac to remain attached to the engine cowling!

    The D27 at home in Cheshire, servicing in the field takes on a whole new meaning! We use a car winch to pull the aircraft back into the hangar tailfirst, just like a GR1 into a HAS.

    Yesterday some air to air around Woodvale with G DAWG today down to Sleap for fuel. This morning the right oleo went saggy where as last year the left was the problem. Topped up oleo with gas at Ashcroft and a push on the wing unstuck the leg. It appears from Germany the early models had their legs attached to the fuselage at a less than optimum angle, later models had wider angled legs.

    Pictures in due course from Jason.

    I am ex 10 AEF hence the Sqn badge. The aircraft was built for photographic purposes so the door mechanism built in and serviceable etc. Jason is the cameraman and better qualified to answer your points but I feel the limits of camera, vibration, lens and film speed make shooting trains difficult and quality suffers hence next go we will take a still shots to build into a final product combining movie and stills etc.

    A big thanks to Jason for braving the back of the aircraft with the side door off and the floor open! He was attached via a safety harness and managed to capture some shots of the Great Britain VII at Chirk and northwards. We had hoped to get to the train between Shrewsbury and Oswestry but the train late and we needed fuel so dipped into Sleap.

    Anyway hope you find it entertaining.
