Yes, Rob, we seem to be getting a fair result with the poll. By the way, being a Wyvern fan, I assume you have seen Barry Hares’ 5th scale Eagle engine? In the unlikely event that you haven’t, or for those interested, Google ‘Barry Hares eagle engine’. He has a Merlin too.

Indeed i have Bill, an amazing achievement considering the amount of detail.
I’ve often wondered if Yeovilton have ever looked into the possibility of attempting to run their RR Eagle in VR137 !
Rob
Yes vote left and now pulling ahead. And although i obviously can’t speak for the man himself i bet DC would love to see his attempts recognised with Bluebird moving under her own power on Coniston again.
A true Brit, Donald needs to be remembered and celebrated properly for his achievements.
Good luck guys.

Did i read somewhere that the museum wanted to repatriate the Thunder City Javelin back to the UK from South Africa, or is that a Jav too far ?
Rob
Donated this morning, and glad to help the last flying Vulcan ever.
Rob
(This new forum style is horrible!)
Agreed. Really don’t like it ! But some really nice pieces on here, good finds.
Rob
Its extremely windy at Duxford today, with a very strong westerly that appears to be blowing straight down the runway.
Rob
Congrats to all involved. It really does make sense when people and organisations get together like this to boost projects.
Rob
Yes very interesting news Cees, as its a substantial section. Can you say where in the UK its going?
Rob
Sadly i cannot make it because of work commitments.
Can anyone PM me Philips contact details please?
Rob
Did you get my email, Mr H ?
Rob
Yep Sabre was flying today, a welcome sight back in the air too.
I have to say that every time i see the F-86 display it always looks safe and exciting but without ‘pushing it’ too far. Fantastic airshow act.
Well done guys.

Nice story. Thanks for posting.
Rob
Nice idea but then you would have complaints flooding in that that particular Sabre never actually flem from Shepards Grove.
Some folk on these forums are very touchy about ‘authentic markings’ 😉
