Hi All,
He’ll probably be offering his thoughts of the gay community and how they should run themselves he seems to be fond of that worst ever leader this country ever had and that is saying something. To be honest when I saw the header I thought somebody would have said keeping his big mouth well and truly shut for once.:D

Hi All,
I assume from the videos about five in total although a year or two old they must have it in their minds sounds lovely.

Hi All,
Rich,
Fantastic update as always and please pass on the congratulations to all the team from low to high :eagerness:, I was just wondering with the long term plan to get your girl airworthy what would the cost be to have the Griffons made airworthy or do you have airworthy examples to adorn her ? if you have yet to acquire airworthy units have you started the vital fund raising for them yet as I imagine this would be a separate funding from all other aspects no?

Hi All,
May I say to all the snappers and to the videoers especially Merlot for the last one, excellent work by all for those of us that never made any of the air shows or over flights of both Lancasters and a massive thank you to the Canadian Lancaster crew and team that managed to pull this visit off, keeping fingers crossed very firmly she will come again when NX611 is back on her wings. :eagerness:

Hi All,
TonyT,
Have had a few e-mails from Karl about this project that is on going but all relevant info about this recovery is in the links below. Its the same group who have an ongoing Halifax Restoration, that recovered hasting centre sections from Malta a while back to incorporate them into their Halifax and also recently got their fourth merlin running on Lancaster FM 159.

Hi All,
Well if they can put substitute engines in a 262 then why not in an original airframe newer engines that could enable the airframe to fly ?

Geoff.

Hi All,
Of coarse as they are the only ones capable of flight, I assumed that everyone would understand my meaning maybe a bad choice of words in my original post,talking of which anybody have an update on the replica 262 engine problems ?
Here is a STILL AND A video of EADS 262 FROM 2010.
