Wasn’t a long white beard and the remains of a canoe lying nearby?;)
well it was dark..the guy was camo’d against the floor…but there are many a sunken ship around here…could be a sunken canoe too
Does she indeed, i looked at their online store, and it seemed quite limited, does she have access to a wider range? (is there a shed somewhere round the back of Airfix that has all the old ones they couldn’t shift!? that would be a great place if it existed)
Can’t find anywhere online that has an airfix Victor, so i reckon the Revell one might be the only one currently available.
Anyhow, best save that sort of thing for when the sun goes back in, got airshows and fishing to do while it’s not raining..
she does…its goes along the lines of…tell her what you want…she’ll order it in and let u know when its there she has contacts see π
im currently sitting at home listening to the sound of hawks practicing for the airshow…phil K from NEAM works in sunderland city centre and has a view of the whole coast..im not happy π
hey..as there has been no sign of moggy for a while…myself and my friends were driving along sunderland coast tonight and found a bearded man who frankly looked lost as he was lying on the pier singing….could it be him?
ahh yeah..lizard lane, just along the coast..ian if u would like…PM me your mobile number and i can inform you if our location changes??
speak to avro baby about models…she orders them from airfix specially for people π
yep, all u need is the leaflet from the stand…where abouts are u staying for your mackem land trip?
as for airfix kits…we have a nice 1.24 scale spitfire :p its only Β£38.99 π

deffinatly not as good as waddo…but we do have some good displays….especially being on the coast…apparently theres a beach assault this year with the RAF and RN taking part…not sure which ship we have up here though
make sure u pop to the NEAM tent located next to the white light house and say hello π
this weekend..is anyone around the north east for it?
lol…it may well be…its been at the squadron long enough :p
Hi Rob, i believe those subjects u just mentioned above are under headings such as principles of flight and propulsion, the cadets also do airmanship, its taught differently on each squadron but the exam is the same for everyone, they give a good explination into how an aircraft flies, from being aerodynamic to how the engine works and what the wings do π
Scott
got the pics on my phone for you, will upload them asap or send them straight accross when i catch you on msn
Scott
if anyone sees something like an aircraft tug/David Brown Tractor can you PM me asap please
Thanks
Scott
hi 668, im currently a Sgt in the atc, well…for a month till i turn 20, anyway, some of the engineering stuff we have at the squadron are along the lines of engines from cars/boats aswell as the DeHaviland Gnome we have accross the way at NEAM.
at the moment my cadets are doing a few different basic engineering projects, building a go cart, one of those little 4 wheeled buggies with a sail on it, beach racers i think it is, oh and they have just built a tardis :confused:
the engine we use to demonstrate propulsion is a little 4 stroke on a trolley i believe, easy to move about and it also has covers that come off which allows for better instruction,
hope this helps and if you would like photos i can get you some as im there tonight π

Hangar 3 Update
Sorry for the late posting, ive been without the internet so couldnt get access, just a quick update from a few weeks ago
as we had several members on site and willing to help out, we decided it best to re arrange a few things while we had the chance, unfortunatly we chose to do it on a day when the weather turned against us, absolutly chucking it down with rain, we pushed on and managed to achieve our goal of moving a few of our exhibits which had stood outside for a few days, to be put under cover once again….
Image 1:
Avro Anson C.19 TX213/G-AWRS has been turned round so she now faces the public, this was done by moving Pucara A-522 out of the hangar and with a lot of pushing and pulling manouvered into place
Image 2:
Westland Widgeon G-APTW has been pushed back so that she fits next to the Anson, allowing room for the Dragonfly WG724 and Sycamore WA577 to be brought over from Hangar 2
the other images are just extra’s that i took during the day,
