Breitling Fighters arrived home at about 18.30. Ray Hanna flew the La-9, Lee Proudfoot was in the Corsair, Alister Kay flew MH434 and Nigel Lamb was in TD248.

Paul,
Where did you get that MH434 from? And did you get my e-mail regarding repaints?

I have just been told that the parking area outside hanger 1 has been severely reduced in size, with the barrier being brought right back to make the area the new ‘jet pan’. It is apparently a perminent change. Can anyone confirm this?

I’ve had this Sea Fury for about 2 weeks now, it looks fab and flies pretty good but i can’t taxi it around, any idea’s?

That P-51 lookalike is based at Deenethorpe. I had a ride in it a few years ago, ended with a very exciting landing to say the least. It handles alot like a Chipmunk.

That was just my opinion. I saw the 1st Blenheim laid out on the floor and the damage to the 2nd does not look a touch on that. Comparing the 2 wrecks visually this Blenheims damage is less than half the 1st ones damage. Again just my opinion.
I guessed 18 months based on the fact that ARCO don’t hang around with jobs.
As i also said it will be down to the money.

Just got back from DX. The Blenheim was being transferred to Hanger 3, i don’t think the damage looks that bad. If there is to be a hold up, then i would say it’s money. Judging by ARCO’s previous record for getting things going again, if the moneys there i wouldn’t be surprised if they haven’t got it flying within 18 months.

There are supposedly brand new wings being manufactured in New Zealand for Weeks’s Mossie.
