    Looks fantastic Bruce, must pop in and have a look.

    I remember paint stripper called Ardrox 588 or something like that, we used it on Heralds having a major check at SEN, nasty stuff, gets the dirt off your hands, ( and skin ) glad to here they produced an alternative. 🙂

    Thought it all looked a bit grim this morning, not historic, but anyone know if the Oasis 747 did its “display” ?

    Work commitments kept me away today, but hopefully tomorrow things may 😎 inprove.

    Popped in and had a peek the weekend. I did not realise there were so many Airframes at GAM, let alone the Engines, Instruments, and equipment inside the museum.

    Well worth a visit.

    Good luck with the project Bex.

    Albert – And anyone else,

    Just wondering if anyone had submitted their details to Gatwick Police, and have thay had any response.

    I have only ever been moved on once at LGW, and never had too much of a problem, unlike SEN where Special Branch detained me for an hour or two – years ago:D 😀 with wife in tow, that went down well:mad:

    This area does not get mentioned often, but if travelling by car, what about the Business Traveller Car Park areas? It runs along parallel 27R/10L with just one fence to look through. On the bad side its straight into the sun for daytime photos…..oh and i better mention the £18.00 a day parking fee.

    I often wondered what happened to the ship after it was re-floated? – I seem to remember that it was on tow to somewhere like India (was that for scrapping or I hope not – refitting??) and did it break free on route or something??

    It was refloated and renamed Flushing Range for its last and final journey to Alang in India, where it was scrapped i gather.

    The two sister ships Pride & Spirit of Free Enterprise are still opeartional i believe.

    The Book- Well of course i want one ! 😀

    N103 – Shame to see her end that way, i remeber her being the first Carvair with BAF to be operated totally “paintless” freeing up some valuable payload i gather. :rolleyes:

    Denny T~ …Welcome Aboard 🙂
