Our web site is horribly out of date (my fault) and the Brit is coming along nicely although there’s a shedload more work than I ever imagined – I’m sure the same will be true of BGNR !

Example: today I bought 5,000 tucker pop rivets, tomorrow I’ll buy about the same number of solid rivets. Next week it’ll be a bucket full of captive nuts, and bolts, and screws, and plywood, and staging, and paint remover, and paint, and zinc chromate, and jointing compound, and … oh the list keeps on growing!

I too will have to make the pilgrimage once she’s home though – can’t wait to see all of MAM’s wonderful toys 🙂

Remember to keep a stiff upper lip when signing all those cheques :diablo:

Sorry – when you said parts, I thought you meant parts smaller than a fuse or wings!

I have access to one – what do you need ?

I want one !

How many times have I struggled, balancing lumps of iron/alloy and trying to wind the vise shut with my knee…

As you say – it’s a bit bloody pricey though !

Aircraft Tug, we have two, ‘Rosie’ a Reliance tug which was bought (in Argentinian AF markings 😮 😮 ) for £75 about 5 years ago and ‘Jim’ a Douglas Tugmaster which was a couple of hundred quid at about the same time… they’re around….check ebay

eh up TT, sorry to hijack the thread, but does your Jim look anything like our Doug ? http://jetstream-club.org/tug/

Cheers,

Roy.

Bump? Surely BANG or KABOOOM would be more appropriate 😀

It would be interesting to know of any other similar aircraft recovery missions which have gone disastrously wrong

Whilst trying to recover a 1:72 Hawker Sea Hawk that had fallen down behind the TV, I slipped and banged my head on the window sill. This might not be quite what you are looking for, but the bang on the head answers a lot of questions! :diablo:
