makes for a hell of a read, i hope she flies again, i didnt manage to see her this year, ill be totally gutted if i missed my only chance of ever seeing her fly 🙁
ive signed the petition
whats the story with this particular aircraft?
Ben
time and money being the crucial factors here i would presume?
imagine if it was restored to flight … 😀
which B17 mate?
im hopefully going the friday, i think XH668 was thinking about going then too, though im sure he will confirm this himself 🙂
i would definitely like to meet some of those from the forum 🙂

i feel like a bit of a twit not knowing this…
*******s
also labour government cancelled the project… how is it that they continuously screw up the aviation industry in this country?
well didnt we give a couple of ours to the americans?
i thought they were massively against concorde? :confused:
whatever it is, it sounds deadly 😀
noice 😉 that’ll be interesting if he fires it up, id read somewhere that the barry hares turned over the Eagle he’s been building, it burnt out a 1/hp genny engine the compression being so big…
… wish i had one 🙁
here’s a vid of barry hares’ engine runnin
and the link to its build
and also the link to the RR eagle he’s building
One day ill have one… one day 🙂
dream project!!! *drools*
there’s a chap called barry hares who built a gorgeous merlin i think it may have been 1/5 scale, not sure… well worth looking him up at least
next, there is a chap in america who supplys castings for a merlin etc (know its not a griffon but should be some help)
please let us know how you’re getting on!
one day ill have the money to build my ultimate project… a quarter scale lancaster with 4 1/4 scale merlins in… (dreams wistfully)
round one is early, pointy is later

Ben
