News today – not much
The DH Dove fuselage is now in the storage / workshop hangar out of my way….
The Pucara has had its tyres inflated and has been pushed back a few feet (previously occupied by the Dove) so we can have our walkway back- previously, the route around the hangar was blocked by said Argy aircraft, and people were hopping over the barriers to get around.
The hedge at the front of the museum has been cut, and is now a bit more attractive to visitors…. I’ll refrain from the ‘neatly trimmed bush’ comments…:eek:
Work began on the Dragonfly’s display engine.
Work also began on the Lightning – the fin is pretty heavy! Dave is team leader on that one. The nosewheel is now filled with hardening foam and will never go flat again. Anyone got any ideas about how to free the steering without taking the leg apart?….
Vulcan news – James completed the survey on her today, and hopefully the results will be back in a week or two. After that, we can start renovating panels etc while we wait for the nod about spares.
Finally, the Shorts has been cleared of seats (again) by 1507 Sqn air cadets ready for the interior restoration to begin.
I’ll update with a couple of pics later
