Three months on from my post, and still nothing I’ve seen from BHHH on their site or Facebook page…is anyone else still on the edge of their seat waiting to learn more?
Thanks for posting, Peter. It really is a tremendous project and I can’t fathom the amount of work you put in before lifting a tool. Thanks for sharing your progress and all the best for your next steps.
And one cancellation
G-ZSWR 6853 DH89A RAPIDE CANX 02/02 to GERMANY
A very, very pretty restoration I was fortunate to see up close at Wanaka one year – with For Sale signs all around. I hope she’s gone to a good home where she will fly often.
I actually had tears in my eyes viewing the rollout photos last night, such is my love for the Oxford. They’ve done a truly wonderful job and I think I must be due for another visit down to Wigram.
Thanks for the link to the Finishing Scheme, Errol – I have a model Oxford awaiting paint and I wasn’t sure how it would be painted. Now I know.
Thank you so much for sharing the photos, this is a wonderful thread! I second the call/idea of some kind of walkaround publication focused on specific types.
Speaking of which – if more Stuka photos were to find their way into the thread I’d be a very happy lad!
The Airframe Assemblies of the wooden ration box world
And here I was, thinking I was being clever!
I do rather enjoy Coca-Cola – especially at airshows – but can it be restored from the basis of such a find? Are we entering into the realm of “label rebuilds”? :stupid:
I’m very sorry to read this Rich, at least you can come away justifiably proud of what’s been accomplished. I only hope someone else in the organisation can step up and keep us posted as you have done.
I’m only partway into the episode but already I’ve found I went to the same school as Mr Budge! Albeit seven or so decades later. Fascinating stuff and well worth a listen!
Agreed that the Ho.229 never existed – I believe it should be either Ho.IX or Go.229.
Thanks Duxman re container, I’m not attending the show but it’s still nice to be kept up-to-date.
Lovely!
Forgive me if it was covered in the old thread – has the BoB film-schemed Buchon departed for New Zealand yet?
That was a fantastic read Elliot, thanks for sharing! Now I have an urge to put my hand up to assist.
I’ve also recorded Ayres Hotel and Flo’s Cafe for my own future pilgrimage to Chino…I’m a big eater 😉
Lovely shots Cees, very atmospheric. What a stunning job.
At first I thought the poppies were specks of blood…
