    ….and she is now back home at Sywell under rebuild and will hopefully fly next Spring 🙂

    Or sooner, if we didn’t keep finding other old relics to fix!! 😉

    Baldeagle, Roger, would you mind if I put your pictures on our Biggles Biplane website – with appropriate name checks?

    Roger as you were obviously a Sywell devotee, here’s another one, taken from the opposite side of the hangar at about the same time!

    England? There were 2 Scotsmen running the Major maintenance on PA474 at Coventry which helped get the aircraft to the big reveal and to Holland on time. A large majority of the groundcrew that worked on the Phantom during the war were also from Scotland. I think British would have been more appropriate.

    Don’t worry, they made their mark – I’m amazed no-one else noticed the authentic RScoAF markings on the wing topsides 😀

    (with apologies to Doughnut!!)

    Forgive an ignorant Yank, but is Mr. Wallis any relation to the ‘other’ famous British aero-engineer named Wallis?

    Not to “bouncing” Barnes he’s not……;)

    But his father and uncle were pioneer aviators who built the Wallbro monoplane in (I think) 1910. It was one of the first aircraft to use a tubular steel fuselage structure.

    His cousin was an Imperial Airways captain too……..

    Congratulations Gary. I think that final shot is just stunning!!

    Congratulations guys. Brilliant achievement.

    My only concern is the non-authentic colour of the long cable in the foreground.

    I always thought it was “light the blue touchpaper….” :diablo:

    Hi Guys.

    Has anyone the wingspans of the 3 wings?

    Only the top one. 23 feet 6 inches.

    And the bridge doesn’t seem to be that much wider!

    A similar ASI was fitted in Luton Minor G-AFIR. A bit irrelevant really as the calibrations only start at 50, which was the aeroplane’s cruising speed! 😀

    Thing is with the Air Cadets are they still as air minded as say 5-10 years ago?
    My last squadron certainly aren’t The new boss wanted nothing to do with them…

    The problem is that some well-meaning soul in the MoD probably did a “risk assessment” – and came to the conclusion that flying is dangerous. Therefore they have a “duty of care” to keep Air Cadets away from aeroplanes! :diablo:
