A nice shot of the workshop. A little full with a Junior canopy replacement and a K7 restoration nearing completion, as well as the T21 still going strong. Lots of work gone into straightening out the interior’s old bolt holes, nicks and dents, plus putting a new fuselage neck plate in. Soon she will be in the trailer again as the club’s maintenance is priority the next few months. This will not stop us from working on smaller bits like the stabilizer, elevators and struts though!

Alice Springs NT museum early 2006. Lovely airplane (and a very nice museum!).

Should be able to do the same in The Netherlands if that’s what you are looking for.

This one? Although I don’t think that was in Oz…

(possibly the reason I’ll stick to aircraft with fixed undercarriages)

Funny you should say that. We had one in the workshop recently that had seemingly made a retractable undercarriage out of its usual fixed one… Took a while to buff that out, as damage was not limited to the undercarriage.

schuitje

Dutch for CAR.

May be a clue.

Mark

Actually, ‘schuitje’ means:
– a little ship
– small basket for a balloon or swing
– a casting shape (‘bread’) for tin
– the spool of a sewing machine

There may be a link to an expression ‘schuitje varen’ (taking a trip) or ‘in hetzelfde schuitje zitten’ (everybody being in the same situation).

It’s amazing what you can do with a competent crew in a single evening’s work. Here’s some pics of last Monday’s session. We have decided to rebuild the entire back end, as this is actually less timeconsuming than fixing all the small problems. And of course the result is considerably better.

– Putting in the new bottom skin after finishing the new tailskidattachment block. Note the huge amounts of old paintjobs and filler on the poor quality fin skin.
– Putting in a new lower vertical spar web.
– Stripping the fin to its bare bones for recovering.

If you’re interested in a tailwheel and tyre (sans tube), let me know.

I remember from the early days of reading Flypast (84-85), that there was a photo of a Harvard, also in KLM colors together with the Tracker. It really looked striking. Think it went somewhere else later and slipped on a uniform.

Yes, it is still about, now in its original colours. Don’t recall by heart where it went.

They also had a Neptune in KLM colours, this is now back in its original scheme at the Aviodrome.

Eric – the French use the word charabanc because it is a French word!!

Oui, je sais.

I was referring to aérodrome, this being a forum on airplanes, not buses 😉

arcane and archaic

That must be why the French still use it a lot 😀
