2 September update

Lots of pictures to show you!

1: Hangar 1 doors wide open – 2 hours to open them, 5 mins to close them… (taken last week. The canberra tail would now appear on the left side of the pic…)

2: US Army staff car for today’s press day in preparation for J&J

3: Usworth Memorial – cleaned at last, just need to scrub the rock itself….

4: R100 board – 3 days, some MDF and some paint.

5: A WHOLE lightning (Fin excepted….)

6: The markings completing the Mystere

7: THE Brown helecopter. (Brown being the maker, not the colour!;) )

8: Lightning taile end – comlpete with dead mouse, birds nests and alot of corrosion! Now lacking in all of those things. And lacking in jet pipes too….

9: The stones we dug out of the car park – runway markers? Significance? Painted?…. They are part of the memorial now anyway, but I personally would like a bit of information about the use of such things please.

10: Alex’s Anson (While its visible)

11: Collection of American vehicles for the Press today.

12: The Bofors gun (and Air Cadets) getting a coat of green paint! WOOHOO nearly done!

Good work to all concerned!

The loop itself should be pretty much the same with most aircraft. Naturally, a hudson part number would be beneficial to match it to any surviving DF loops…

For an art print, my personal preference would be to see the loop itself as a circular object as opposed to end on, but thats just me. The perspex bubble is just that, mounted on a support structure of metal.

Unless anyone can correct me….

Those pics are quite bad for detail, but for a 2D representation, do the support structure with the Loop itself clear of the structure – remember it was designed to be rotated…. Sorry if I’m going on…..

Do you have a pic of the general arrangement? We are home to an Auster AOP5, so the dimensions should be accessible with permission from the owner. Just I don’t have the faintest idea which bit is which when it comes to the struts….

hi all,

anyone help me with a close up or a drawing of the see thru type df loop, i have loads of images with this type but none are clear enought to see what the inside looks like, i need this for my Dutch Hudson, trust me to pick one with this type of loop!

thanks in advance

If its the loop itself that is the problem, Bruce the moderator around these parts is in posession of a good close up of the one fitted to Lancaster PA474 (If that would help). My external hard drive has died, so I’m sure if you ask him nicely….. (the photo was taken by me, but he now has the only accessable copies!)

VV901, the Anson now with Yorkshire Aircraft Museum, had a cycle bell fitted to the control column, and when I was there some years ago, it was debated whether or not to restore the bell and place it on display with the aircraft…..

1 September update!

Here we are in a brand new month, with the same old tasks…

The Vulcan nose leg was painted black today… mmm, nice…

The boards have been built for the Vulcan’s info and some write-ups laminated – it will be completed tomorrow, and the board has been made and painted for the R100 section – again, it will be completed tomorrow. All thats left is to clean, protect and paint the section itself and make some kind of information viewable…

The biggest job today took the form of two distinct phases:

1: Simply tow the Canberra forward, and then tow the Lightning out of the hangar so that the main wheels are still on concrete but leaving enough room to extract the jet pipes. This was acheived with the help of a local farmer and his giant forklift truck. He also moved the section of Lamella hangar out of the way!

2: Simply remove the Lightning jet pipes. The gents from Binbrook came to do this, as our pipes will be used on their Lightning. This began early this morning, and when I left at 5PM, the first jet pipe was ALMOST out…..

So here’s a question – how long did it take the RAF to remove a pair of jet pipes? and yes, all of the required equipment was provided including the hoofing great big frame which the jetpipe slides out onto…..

If you are lucky, I might take some photos tomorrow! We have the press day for Jeeps and Jets tomorrow, so I’ll try to get a photo of a photographer taking a photo…… or something….:D

Don’t see why not. If you are seriously considering it, send me a PM with the approximate cost, and I’ll have a word with the manager to see what he wants to do….
