i managed to scrounge a PR7 fuselage manual from the guys at Bournemouth all Im short of is the PR7 electrical manual, but ive got plenty of time to find one before I need it!!!!
Well Im restoring by the seat of my overalls, im also a major league bookworm which helps luckily!!!
Well Heidi wont be with me so I will do my best, give me something to fix or build Im ya gal but er give me a camera im worse than an ash tray on motorbike!!!
Rob, look out for email tomoro eve as im at gatwick for a few hours in the morning, fancy a nice shot of our Vixen?
Er well (tries to dig herself out of the hole shes dug) Phantom & I were talkin about helos and u got the blame for no pics of the whirlygig up there!!!
That prince looks like its growing things & its getting its own paddling pool, mind u im a fine one to talk i guess, as 773’s nav seat has its own paddling station!!! Well Rob, Phantom did say u were his “partner in crime” Oh did u guys get mail by any chance? Bex
I didnt say anything derogatory about Helis at all. It was my partner in crime that said no to taking the pics of it. I sit on the fence with Helis Im afraid. Neither love or hate.
Soz Phantom that was for Rob not you, and as for Cranberries, er i may just be on the slight obsessive side tee hee!!! Bex
Phantom, are u trying to insinuate that I may be slightly canberra mad by any chance??? Oh and how can a whirlygig be a waste of space? Helichoppers are fun, especially if u have one of them nutters from Odiham take ya thru welsh valleys as though he was flying a fast jet and not a whoppin great chinook!! If no one takes on our Whirlygig by the time Ive got 773 up to a good standard then shes next on my list. Bex
I can imagine the Cranberries tail has rotted thru if the other frames are anything to go by guys and mayb even the top hole is a paddling pool. I got drenched when I opened my port bay, that hatch door ive got in my hand was full of water and i mean full, but the bay was bone dry thank god!! Bex
Oh Rob, u will have email at some stage tonight when my pics finish uploading, ive done 3 posts so far and its still going!!!
Cant blame me for trying Phantom!!!! Externally the Gannet is spot on apart from needing a wash & paint. Funny u mentioned it though, when asked what I wanted to take on, it was either the Ganny or 773, luckily for me 773 won coz after a closer inspection the other week the cockpit is worse than mine but both plants are in but im not sure on their condition, and also I can show 773 better than the Ganny. Will get u a cockpit shot 2moro if i can get up there & take a pic without getting blown off it. Bex
Well if u want to see what they can look like then go2 http://www.gatwick-aviation-museum.co.uk we’ve got 2 sea princes & met aswell oh and a pembrooke. They all look good. Under normal circumstances Id just post the pics myself but alas me not no how to do it!!!!! Or better yet, you could just move south perhaps hint hint!!!!
hey phantom, theyre great photos but dont forget Im in the same boat as you, if it wasnt for Lesb Id b right in the poo!!!! But well worth the flu i must admit. Bex
Bruce, thanks for mentioning about radioactivity etc, I hadnt thought about it to be honest, although with 773 instrumentation isnt really a worry as well theres not that many of them tee hee!!!! At the moment my main worry is being drowned as she leaks a wee bit.
