    Thought I’d get a few shots in here and try to include some machines which, for one reason or another get overlooked frequently
    The 109. The MU are a bit slow recovering this one!

    That’s mad yet amazing! And I believe Rich has just ‘outed’ himself. No more bus taunts coming my way for a while then… :p

    Yes I’ll try and make sure I bring it with me to Newark, it will be a pretty full van too with some heavy lumps inc a Bucc main wheel besides the usual items.

    Excellent! And if the Bucc mainwheel has a decent tyre on it it could be of interest to Ollie (Victor Sim) for one of the Brunty Buccs…

    XL160 PROBED!
    Speaking of which, for the first time since we acquired her from RAF Barnham in 1994, Victor XL160 now has a probe back on its roof with all fittings and underfairing – a big thank you to Flixton’s multi-talented staff and the great assistance of the Tornado Maintenance School at RAF Marham, without whom this could not have taken place :rolleyes:

    Excellent again! Pics please. Well done guys 🙂

    Does anyone know if the Hastings outerwings are still on a kart outside at Elvington?

    One is, on a Queen Mary trailer. I don’t know about any other one.
