I had my car stolen by them – all on security video. I knew it, Police knew it but proving it was another thing..

If there are any political types reading then I think someone could win an election if their only pledge was “Same as usual on everything else, but I’ll rid the country of pikeys in 24 months…”

Would get my vote…

still has a 1002 and its for sale – the staggerwing is new though…

TT

This is where I go “small world”. That aircraft (Nord 1002) was based about 20 miles away from where I live in Buenos Aires and is now located 20 miles away from home in the UK.

I was chatting to an old Argie mechanic who was telling me how it came to only have one wing. So say they stripped it for some work, and while it was in that state, local gypsies broke in and stole a wing. The owner visited their camp and offered a “reward” for its safe return but the wing had already been smelted down. No doubt they got about $5 for the metal..

Criminal.

Anyway…

There are wings available in France, so should still represent a nice little project for someone.

Funny old (small) world..

:rolleyes:

Would that be Jim Hardie’s example that has just flown in Scotland?

No thats an 1101, its the Nord 1002 that dresses as the Me108.

Having said that I think we’ll see both an Argus engined 1101 and at least 1 (maybe 2) 108’s. Glen Lacy has the 1101 and the 1002 being rebuilt with Argus engines (I think he has said as much here himself). Also the ex Walton machine might be destined for an engine exchange but we’ll have to wait and see. Both owners have the resources and the motivation so lets keep our fingers crossed.

Its still at Booker but with a new UK owner..

In fact put Shoreham airshow in the diary (16/17th Sept) as I think we’ll be “attacking” as a two ship – should be lots of fun!!!

The 108’s CofA is limited to the Utility Cat so you simply can’t do them, not possible, not allowed.

However I have been told of a man in the USA who rolls loops and spins his to his hearts content…

The FIAT is still based at Booker I believe.

What do you need? I have enough paperwork to get an example on a Private cat CofA. You can guess how much that is!!

PM me what you need….
