Hmm “no time for 4 engined bombers”. Or really much else with four engines. The B-24 has sat for years, it’s complete and was flying. He has enough to put a B-29 together and a B-17, but hasn’t. His A-26 was being put back together but it never flew, nor has the Tigercat. Kermit’s a great collector, but not really flying much. He’s more of a David Tallichet, buy it, then store it for 40 years without touching it, while flying only a few of a collection that goes into the 100s. On that note, I’m actually glad the Marauder is grounded, that’s what I hoped for. After the loss of the CAF airplane, it’s too rare to fly ever. The only way the Lanc would ever fly, is for someone to make Kermit an offer he can’t refuse, then pour ten million dollars (or more) into a restoration. Who’s going to do that? I’m a huge fan of Kermit’s and I’ve dealt with him in the past and he’s always been very kind, so don’t take my words the wrong way.

Does anyone have a complete list of Mr. Weeks collection? I have never been able to trace one, perhaps even he doesn’t know exactly what he has in store?

I wonder why ?surly it would sell in other parts too(may be its like newkie broon and dosent travel well):D
Its like ive been trawling for something called liquid smoke for cooking with and its not available over here.:(

Ainsley the TV chef does a barbecue sauce that contains “real smoke” thats not bad at all available at our local Sainsbury if it helps.
Got a Heinz curry sauce in a bottle with pineapple from Malaga thats acceptable.
Anyone know where you can get piccallililie sauce on its own without the bits in? The co-op used to do it.
Must dash off to top up my stocks of brown gold

Count me in for a copy of the book.
Does anyone know what happened to the wind tunnel models of the Carvair 7 (Dart engined) proposal?

TSR-2 please or B-58 or XB-70
Or if we are going civil an Avro Tudor or Vickers Viking would be nice
I like my nostalgia on the noisy side. Just to wake the b*****S up and make them take notice of some real heritage.

Just a curious ? What does a C-130J cost these days. Must have been an expensive bang.
As regards C-27J What about AN-32s much much cheeper and proven in Afghanistan good at hot and high and rough fields etc etc. Unless MOD can remember who we sold the Andovers to?:diablo:
