My latest aviation piece. A lead and charcoal mix. Sorry but this is not for sale;)

😮 that is quite frankly stunning.

So if she’s put away for the winter, does that mean her trip to the compass pan at Waddington won’t be till next year?
Or is that something they have to do now as part of the permit to fly?

It’s now October,it was supposed to fly in September and all the hot air has gone remarkably quiet. I really cannot see this becoming a reality anymore ?
Sorry if this sounds negative but press releases seem few and far considering the mighty public interest in this machine ever taking too the air .

If you go to the official site you’ll see how close it is to compleation, they are doing an amazing job from what I can tell.

She’ll fly when everything is finished to the highest quality and if that means her taking a while then so be it 🙂

Strangly enough on Wadnesday, the morning after I posted that, I went to Donna nook lol was a complete coincidence as we had business in north Somercotes so we carried on up the road after 😀 really horrible weather though so I didn’t go for any long walks or anything, just had a quick luck over the dunes, nothing was flying when we were there, although the light and flag were on and flying. But it does deffinatly say keep off the area with the markers at all times, didn’t have my camera otherwise I’d have taken some pics.

I think I am the only one who can honestly say, other than that apart from that one time which really wasn’t all that interesting, I have never ever snuck into anywhere, for a start I don’t know where there are any old planes round me lol 😀

When I was ten my friends and I got a telling off from a farmer when we went looking at what was left of the old RAF Fiskerton (which isn’t much) but it put the fear of god into me and I’ve never done anything like it since. So on one hand I can deffinatly not condone the tresspassing aspect, as far as I’m concerened if something says keep out then you keep out. Unless you get permission.
But I’m very guilty of looking at various UE websites, however I have seen on those that they despise any form of breaking and entering and vandalism and steeling. It seems the greater threat are from people looking for somewhere to drink/do drugs and/or bored teenagers, deffinatly not wanting to generalise though as I was a very well behaved teenager myself 😀
But for the most part UE’s are well behaved, but it only takes one to ruin for everyone else.

What I was most desturbed by was this

😮 Now I know Donna nook a little (we’ve been going for years to see the seals so as long as you stick to the path it’s fine) and it’s pretty clear from the signage all along the dunes that the range is out of bounds, now I don’t know all the rules and what not reguarding MOD land but surley it doesn’t matter if the “red flag is flying” or not, surly its just down right dangerous to walk over a range:eek: or is that me being nieve?:D

Haha no way that it too funny:D

hahaha “bombs gone”
I ran out in me slippers with my camera, the man with his dog must have thought we were a bit mad 😀

Lancaster just flew over Lincoln (and our house) nice little treat on a rather dismal day. Anyone know where it’s been? I like being nosey 😉
