interesting….lucky my parents are up the road a mile or so!

cannot think of many German aircraft off there, doubt the Shotley He111 bombs could make it that far!…

It could be that the picture was taken at Llanbedr judging by the Canberra tail in the background and it might not accurately reflect the current condition of the aircraft.

you are right…it aint in a hangar and we do not have any canberra tails at BD anymore!

Depends on the amount of rust & how big the part is. 1gal & a recirc pump will do an M2 (the gun, not the tank 😉 )

There’s another company that makes similar stuff under the name of Rusteco.

If there’s no UK distributor etc I may have to call my step bro & have him start importing it… if it’s financially viable.

I use stuff made by Bilt Hamber……

The stepping stones to the Hurricane revival we now see are quite a few and obviously include HR with its partners (i.e Sir Tim Wallis) and its sub contractors…..but dont forget various owners of spar forming and tube forming machines, a Hurricane restoration conference held in the 1980s at Duxford (that include long time and prolific Hurri operators BBMF!) to discuss such things as rare techniques, materials, Cranfield, AC and its then owner (Brian A), Charles Church, Paul Mercer, the Medway group of the RAeS, wreck retrievers and not forgetting bill payers! Coupled with that was a willingness to share information. I think that if I had seperate out individuals from that list it would be Hurri restoration pioneers Paul Mercer & Geoff Rodwell who learnt many lessons for others to follow…..These are the unsung heroes that allow us to see such beautiful aircraft fly…

Just think, if it wasn’t for HR we’d be down to about 3 flyable ones by now!

Rocketeer, I’ve only just looked at your website, some amazing and thorough work done there. Really good to see those early Hunter cockpits.
Are you set up within the camp itself or located nearby?
The RAFM museum is definately not going to have the Meteor if it is up for disposal, so other than Llanbedr I can’t think where people think is a good home for it, Boscombe being as suitable as anywhere.
I hope you manage to pull something out of the bag and somehow aquire it – good luck.

BTW I’m amazed the Sea Fury is up for disposal, shouldn’t it be retained by the FAAHF or at least FAAM?

I dont think we will have much chance of getting it sadly. Most of stuff is displayed within the Boscombe Down museum….dont forget Cockpitfest if you want to see lots of hunter noses!

suggest yu chaps come to cockpitfest!

We have one, sort of, at the museum,will try to get details….not been in it for some time….

agree…..was for target towing
