    I have the same print – the lead aircraft is XH558. Nice bit of pencil work although the trailing aircraft does look slightly bent.

    Lindys lad………………. “The maintenance schedule should come with the aircraft”
    We can all dream for that to happen, sadly it does not 🙂

    I’m very surprised at that! I would have thought that even home-builds would have a fixed schedule for time expired components – although most of it would be ‘on-condition’ anyway. That said, all of the aircraft I’ve ever delt with have a C of A as opposed to a permit…. Still, thats all to change! I’ve just taken delivery of a Thorp T2-11, 3/4 built, basic airframe…….

    I’ve found an LLA inspector (in my view this means licenced engineer for the type – either way, able to certify my work on the airframe). I now need a cheap Continental 0-200 and some wheels… and a bucket full of instruments… and a PPL (start next month)…..

    The maintenance schedule should come with the aircraft – look at the log books for the engine / airframe hours to find out when they will require major overhaul. You cannot certify the work yourself – you will need a licenced engineer. I’m afraid you are in the same position I was in a few years back. You may be able to self certify on a Tornado / Eurofighter / Sentry, but I’m afraid anything with a G-reg is beyond you….:(

    Eshott is my nearest GA field, and hangarage is 250 quid a month for fixed wing aircraft.

    Having already done T6G, Pitts S2B, and just over a month ago, a Boeing Stearman….. next on the list is a heavy duty warbird – Spit / Mustang… or any fast jet…

    I hate to state the obvious, but I need to speak with someone in upper management (fleet management). 🙂

    … and the only time the RAF will ever use ALL of the converted aircraft is during a huge crisis – a war… I would hazard a guess that the aircraft could be re-roled witrhin a ‘C’ check timescale – probably a week or so. The majority of wars have build-up phases which would give the MOD plenaty of time to lease the remaining aircraft and re-role them.

    It says that it was Taff Smith at the controls underneath.

    IF its the end of the Flypast photo sortie (which I am led to believe it was) the Flypast photos clearly show Brian Brown flying it. Mind you, thats a big IF…..:D

    None whatsoever, sorry. Certainly not in the next three weeks anyway. (Jetting off on holiday VERY soon)

    The guys you can see in the picture are the engineers and owner. I have copies of the photos taken by the engineer on the left (about a second before the above shot…………….. :D. I believe the pilot is the late Mr. Brown.

    The picture above appeared in Flypast a few years ago.
