    I’ll have a quick scan of the books next time I’m in the company store at Plant 42.

    With scrap prices at their current level, would they be threatened by metal theft?

    AeroKroil never heard of it before but from what i can make out you can only get it direct from the USA unless you know of a UK supplier

    Even here in the US it’s mail order straight from Kano Labs. I’ve rattled off an EMissive to see if they sell it in the UK.

    It’s what WD40 & Plusgas etc want to be when they grow up 🙂 truly the Dogs Bollo.. well you get the idea.. 😉

    Hopefully we’ll be going for another attempt at getting the stbd avon 208 hopefully the oil has penetrated the trunnions

    the nose wheel axle is out but sadly the sliding collar, is not sliding and therefore the wheel remain stuck between the fork

    the electrics continue to be a headache the system was put back together but still refuses to attain full speed on the invertors

    the transfers are still being applied as and when wether permits

    got to go and mull over monday as i’m moving XV165’s cockpit to RAF cottesmore for it’s upcoming openday

    Find some AeroKroil, the best unsticker of stuck things on the planet 🙂

    My step dad was on the Eagle, I’ll have a word next week & find out if it was ’67…

    This is the Napier Lion in the Airspace Hangar at Duxford. I’ve no idea what mark it is or why it has brass Chinese characters on the propeller stubs. Anybody?

    Maybe it was used on a Stirling? :D:D:D;)

    Also, does anyone have any insight as to how the new Dambusters movie, penned by Stephen Fry, is coming along?

    meh…;)

    £120k for a vounteer effort frontman is pretty cheep, welcome to the real world of charidees 🙂

    (sp intentional 🙂 again)

    I do have a bit of experience with charidees… I was associated with the clusterF known as BandAid for 2 years..

    Why does the hangar need 4 (apparently paid) people just to maintain it? I don’t know of any hangars that require a crew of 4 to sweep up, fix the leaks, clean the crappers & change lightbulbs etc? (ok, maybe the BA maintenance hangars..)

    Looks like there are close to 40 people on the payroll & only 13 volunteers?

    Perhaps if you could come up with any actual evidence of this post, and further, any evidence of the “apparent” salary of £120,000 paid to Robert Pleming, then I could perhaps explain your ire.

    For the record, I do not know Dr Plemings exact salary details, however, neither do any of you,
    Flipflopman

    It was one of the few bits of their accounting made public. there may be a link to it in this very thread…Apparently I saw it, & you didn’t.

    Which brings up a recurring point:
    Have they made the entire accounts available to the public yet? I seem to remember this being a legal requirement?

    There was an article about these towers a while back that stated they couldn’t demolish the things without leveling several acres around them when it went *bang*

    If you think about that statement there is a fairly big flaw in it, year on year. 😉

    Glad to see I wasn’t the only one who caught that 🙂
