Considering the proximity of the other hangar(s) – it could have been much worse…
You’ve got to feel as well for the Jabiru owner – a lot of work gone to waste there too.
Thanks for the link JDK.

Likewise Moggy – I understand you points and perhaps as you say the research people didn’t go to as much detail as they could. I just don’t watch stuff that closely as long as the story keeps me interested then that’ll work for me.

G-ATBZ at THM was used on engine run days… I know the culprit who used the angle grinder on the blade that is shorn short in the photo. (No it wasn’t me)

OF.
THM actually have more than one…

Blue Skies John.
I had the pleasure of meeting John and flying his Stearman as a Cadet when helping out at the Barnstormers events as “reward” for working that weekend. I will always remember the engine “backfiring” as we taxied out. Staring ahead at just three dials and a load of hols on teh panel infront of me. Once flying I got the pre arranged tap on the shoulder and then proceeded to fly a circiut of Cranfield (albeit descending as it turned out) I got the tap again and indicated he had control as arranged and we adjusted our circuit height and landed. A treasured memory. Thank you John. May you Rest In Peace John.

I quite agree… Setting up and running a show is a horrendous financial outlay… Just check with Neil who runs Abingdon – The costs are exhorbitant… His event isn’t even for profit – just charity…. We’ve spoken about the cost a few times and the figures are scary. And that is before the “acts” are even factored in…
