Top left is a clock – but I guess you already know that!!
Are the existing ones in the right place? I would swap ALT for MACH, and then MACH for RoC. Also RoC seems to early for a Mk14??

Although the metal has been treated and the instruments were removed, they have gone back in as they came out, so I am none the wiser if they are right or wrong.
Thanks for the info Bruce.

I am led to believe through my close contacts within the motor industry, that a further 5000 Vauxhall’s are due to stored at Bruntingthorpe over the coming weeks, even more space taken by vehicles, but business is business.
Thanks for the link Darren.
You sound like you’ve done a few Dave – fancy one more for old time’s sake? 😀
Have you contacted Nick yet?;)
I have submitted a message to a friend who works within the DSA to find out if she has been sold or not, once he replies, I will let you know.
I believe that this is the first time that more than one Buccaneer has taxied in front of a crowd since Lossiemouth 1994? Quite exciting to be a part of if true!
You are totally correct Mr Wallace, congrats on a job well done.:D

The transportation of XL500, was a painless exercise, here are a few images that I managed to take, hope you like them.
Loaded at North Weald
Tightest part of the journey was just along the road from North Weald’s main gate.
10:30pm at Membury Services on the M4.
In the Farnborough soup at around 12:30 today.
Chris, I take it you’ve dispensed with the pile of red ballast that sits under the bomb-aimers prone position? That weighs in at a fairly hefty sum, and with rather a lot of aft airframe long-since shed the old girl certainly won’t be needing ballast any more 🙂
I left a post on your WZ guestbook – if you need any diagrams or pics of TT.18 cockpit layouts, give me a shout and I’m sure I’ll be able to see you right. I’m excited for you with the progress on 887, I do have rather a thing for the old Tow-bird 😀

Young Teenwolf, Can you email the relevant pages to me as myself and Keith are the one’s doing the Diet work.
buccsociety settles his bar tab at the Aviator?:)
Indeed Darren, must get down there to do that 😮 Please send my apologies.
I thought last years was a particularly good event, which allowed a close look at the resident historic (Britannia, Hunters, Canberras, Buccaneer + visiting cockpits),

We may have a surprise in store for this years open day.
Both jets used to be owned by Barry Pearson. When he and Hunter Flying parted company they were moved out of the hangar at Exeter and were later sold and moved to Kemble. Not sure who owns them now.
Barry Pearson still owns them.
