Sounds like I should consider continuing my IMC at Cranfield. Tis only a quick dash down the M1 for me.

The website is not working this evening 🙁

Hi Pete, I just Googled “Flight Test Establishment hucknall”. Take a look at the results. Notable hits are:

http://www.rolls-royce.com/history/heritage/offices/hucknall.jsp and
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/g6nhy.uk/rolls.htm – this one is quite descriptive

they have that mast rather stupidly stuck in the middle of the original runway

That happens to be a jet engine test bed that runs during the week! Anyway where else can I go in my light aircraft, do a stack of circuits and get a cuppa for a fiver? 😀

Reported to be on a strip at Norton near Daventry after leaving Sywell 27.4.05

Nope not gone to Aus. Chris wants to sell her here and was on e-bay recently. Last time I looked (about a month or so) RB was still outside on the strip next to us at Norton.

At least its not being done during Summer, like ours was! I think if you put it in a busy shop, project management goes to pot and this affects the completion date.

Hey, when will the musuem open again? Probably worth an outing to our second nearest airfield 😉

Apologoes for reviving an old thread. I visited Derby Eggington last Sunday. Some blrub here: http://www.bizbuzzmedia.com/blogs/plog_blog/archive/2006/03/08/1485.aspx

Dug a photo out of the archive, taken at Mildenhall in 1934 pre-race. The archive is coming along nicely by the way and will soon be available on-line.
