isnt that one of Chris W’s advert pictures for the 9 air frames he was selling or is this guy an agent selling them for him ???

£18,000 equals about that much in euro’s doesn’t it ??.

I agree it is waaaaaay too much money, and I suspect it is not even in The Netherlands, but the seller is acting as a dealer. He also claims to have sold a Wessex, but that has never been crossing the Channel either.

Great to see you are carrying out a thorough review of previously carried out work. Standards vary widely in the industry, and in the end it’s you who will be signing off the paperwork. One can never be too careful, and taking on an already partially completed project can sometimes present big surprises indeed. Found a piece of doorframe (paint and hing screw holes still in it!) being used as “airworthy” material in one of our previous rebuilds. Needless to say the aircraft was turned inside out, and revealed a lot more issues that needed to be resolved: a two-month maintenance job becoming a two-year restoration job.

Thinks: are female Jack Russells called Jane Russells?

No. They’re Jack Roses.

A ground running Jet Provost anyone?

i don’t see this.

On second thoughts the undercarriage fairings being different may just be the angle of the pic, you’re right. But the back 2/3 of the canopy glazing certainly is different. Back end is closed instead of ‘glass’, and the opening bit is a different shape. May be an earlier model of the I-11 than the military series?

looks like Iberavia / AISA I-11 Peque Vespa or derivative

Yeah I thought it was, but the undercarriage fairings would be added later (too wide) and the canopy is not right…

I had some a couple of years ago from http://www.hall-fast.com

They were commercial fasteners, but identical to the old aircraft ones. Perhaps your certification method might allow their use.

Thank you Bruce, a good pointer. Our aircraft being Annex-II allows us to certify our our parts ourselves to a certain extent, which makes life a lot more easy indeed.

Not wishing to hijack the thread, would anybody be able to identify this little nipper I came across last week in Spain?

Then there’s the prototype Slingsby T.21b that started life as the Slingsby T.28. It is sitting in our workshop, gradually regaining its health.

We finished the structural work on the elevator yesterday. New (laminated) trailing edge throughout, and plywood gussets all replaced. Looks a lot straighter now than it was!

It has been a while, but things have moved fast recently.

The canal in which the aircraft came down, is due for dredging to keep it navigable. To do this, the site has been searched by the MoD with divers (who brought up some small wreckage items) and ground penetrating radar. On the basis of their results, the MoD have positively identified the exact site and have advised to recover wreckage (and hopefully any human remains of the missing crew members). This enables the council to apply for a 70 percent share in recovery costs from the national government. An upcoming council meeting will decide on the technical and financial feasibility of the recovery, which could cost as much as 450K euros as the canal is to be drained and it’s bank needs to be excavated. Regional authorities have also been asked to contribute. Any recovery will be done by the MoD.

You already have. It’s in your constitution.

Unknown type of aircraft, DC-3?

A C-47, displayed at Karlovac until the whole region erupted into civil war.

Hi Eric

I don’t have any, sorry. You’ll find that the pins holding the parachute boxes are about 3 cm long but the one for the tailplane fairing is only about 12.5 mm long (half an inch, you know what I mean).

I can get the guys at Oxford to measure them if you need.

Best wishes for the New Year to all the gang

Dave W

Thanks Dave, we’ll measure as soon as the fuse is in the shop again. There’s a couple of other things to finish to more modern gliders first (including a 9,000-hours inspection).
