Many years ago an aquaintance of mine used to run the York diesel in his Ford Tranny on fuel that was intended for Tornados… 😉

This Egret was on the ramp 2 days ago:

Oddly enough parked in the exact same spot as the Lockheed *DragonStar* was a couple of days earlier.
Egret has been under going repairs after the nosegear collapse last year which resulted in composite propellor parts spread over a few acres… Luckily there is another Egret at VNY so they were able to use that bird to take moulds off to replace the fuselage parts that got mullared. I have a pic of it sitting in the weeds next to the runway on it’s nose someplace as I was driving next to the taxiway when they pranged it.

& yes, that is a DAS decal in the top right corner of my windscreen 🙂

That hangar is 90,000sqft (not including the workshopshop/office space on the sides. theres 2 of them:

Some British target thingies were powered by Vincent motorcycle engines… 🙂

Must have been the same bunch of Yanks that buried hundreds (depending on who you talk to…) of WLA Harley Davidsons, crated and corrosion-inhibited, under Broadford football oval in Victoria, Australia!!!

There were a bunch of WLA’s recovered in Devon back in the early ’80’s. I worked on 5 of them. :p
& if I’d been a bit quicker I’d have been the guy digging em up.. 🙁

That howl like someone sat on a cat is a bit strange….doesn’t often seem that intrusive…
