Many years ago, it was stated that there was an approved repair method for TV959’s wing.

I found it extremely hard to believe then and having thought about it on the odd occasion since, I still don’t really believe it.

Don’t ask where I read it, I haven’t a clue, it was donkey’s years ago, but there’s a possibility it was TFC as IIRC it was them that did the deal to rescue the remains, and the rest of the wing, from Lambeth.

Thank you, although I visit this particular forum so rarely – as does pretty much everybody else it seems – I wouldn’t normally know.

However, it does beg the question – if it isn’t part of your day job, is it anybody’s?

I guess not, which would confirm the generally, although not universally, held opinion that having ruined the forum, Key Publishing don’t care about it now.

I complained on Saturday, I think, and at last somebody has had a fairly half-hearted attempt at clearing some of the dross out.

I say half-hearted because there are still 7 instances of spam on the first page alone, and beyond belief, still one in their own Forum Updates section.

Some of it went back months so it’s patently obvious that nobody actually cares, and if somebody is supposed to be responsible for it, they’re failing miserably.

The Sea Hawk on the gate at Culdrose (HMS Seahawk) is mounted on a low stone structure.

That’s appears low from the car when driving past. I don’t know how low it is if you’re standing next to it.

That puzzled me until I clicked the link.

I knew Humbrol had a Hunter years ago but didn’t associate it with Airfix.

According to Key, traffic on the forum’s increasing. Or rather, they said it was a year or so ago. From what starting point wasn’t specified.

I’ve no idea where Lee Howard lurks these days but I imagine he would have an idea, or at least know where to look.

I’m surprised it’s actually possible to start them without a propeller, although I suppose 12 cylinders helps, as the prop is effectively a flywheel.
