The Swordfish is one of my most favourite bi-planes, she just looks right to me, well done guys.

It amazes me why someone would want to spend that amount of money on insurance let alone buying the car itself.

The monthly re-payments alone are more than my mortgage!!, kinda puts it in perspective, and like Moggy says you could get your PPL and lots of flying time for that price.

I know what I would rather do.

John.

Sorry but I might have veered off topic!, personally I would love to spank a Skyline around a track, a mental car with an almost unlimited choice for modification and tuning.

Thing is though I only see it as a track car and not for the road, our roads are not in any condition for it’s suspension which would be nothing but spine shattering and the local/national and international constabulary would be all over your backside as soon as you give it some.

Give me a big, lazy cruiser with lots of gadgets any day.

Looks like a actuator of some description to me. Also was inpressed that the panel you remove to access it it slightly smaller than the part itself! So Lightnings were dogs to work on, the rumours are true! Never been up close and personal with lightning so I’m guessing! I expect to be corrected by someone with more knowledge!!

Very close again PPJ!, it’s a PFCU (powered flying control unit) for the ailerons.

John.

heres another. black dialectric panel on the leading edge.

that was a cracker that last one john.

Depends which side it’s on as to what it’s for….:D .
