assuming the prob/hub is british …..

could it be german?

could be a rare early photo of michael schumaker before he decided to take up motor racing.

Nigel (aka ‘Buccsociety’) would be pleased to here that.

He knows someone who’ll take a mould & run off a fresh batch, but they just need an original to go by.

Any idea if that ones available Bloodnok ?

.

yes it should be available, its in gillings now somewhat smaller yard in diss in norfolk.
i’ve mentioned it on here before, but i guess it didn’t get picked up on.
they’ve had quite a change around there now due to building work on adjacent land, and i think some of the various canopies that were thare are gone now (lightning, F-4, JP), but i saw the canberra nose glass (complete with flat window) there in the summer.
if its important, i can probably go and check there this weekend.

there’s a fair bit of other aircraft parts there as well, mostly odd instruments/boxes, odd bits of harness (buckles, leg/armrestraint buckles) quite a few test sets, fasteners, and tooling.
quite a bit is modernish stuff, but theres odds and sods from older aircraft types that were retired in the 80’s.

i think that they are just rehashing old foootage they have on this series, they’ve featured ken wallis before on this program, and they did a similar thing last week on archie scott-brown (the racing driver), having previously featured him on the program.
on both of these occasions though there was a bit of new footage mixed in with the previous stuff.

he seemed to have a hell of a life, and the incident with the barrage ballon and the wellington looked pretty scary! i bet his life would make a fabulous read in a book.

i find it hard to get away from work.
i worked on hawks and tornados whilst in the raf, and work on C-130’s now. but originally from near fairwood airport, swansea, you end up see all of the above either in the circuit, or just flying round.
where i live now is near two large american airbases, so i end up with endless streams of f-15’s and assorted heavy’s, in the other direction is the local battle area, so when they are playing you end up with loads of helicopters of all descriptions flying round.

so in the end whether i’m just heading home for a quit weekend with my folks, or just coming home from work, its hard to get away from all the flying stuff!

i always thought there was a problem with the FADEC software.

yuri geller (spoon bending bloke) is taking one seller to court in exactly the same circumstances.
he won one of elvis presleys old houses, but the seller then decided to sell it someone else.
