It’s like a T6/Harvard but with a smaller engine and fixed undercarriage which are the most obvious differences, they came about before the T6/Harvard as well I think. Personally I think they look cuter than the T6 but that’s just me

Nice one guys, drove past you as you were towing her out yesterday evening and heard her from the pub so figured you were successful!

It turned up on the sunday but not the saturday – I was at the show on saturday and think I saw it fly over Brunty on sunday. Didn’t turn up on the saturday because of crosswinds at Sywell apparently, although according to someone that was there it was really calm :confused:

As for worst ones, how did we overlook the Blenheim – canopy fit NIGHTMARE!!!!

Yeah that was awful – the Auster antarctic kit is a complete dog as well, the propeller is the wrong way round! As for non-aircraft, the Vosper MTB was a sod to build, too many injection pins etc so gave up after a while. Most of the military kits were awful (the first time I built the Churchill I lost two thirds of the wheels), but the Bofors 40mm and the Morris tractor with it was a real gem, and the RAF vehicle kits too

I’m not storming off in a hissy fight or anything, I was just saying there’s no point in keeping on arguing over something as it’s not really going to change much, there’s no point in having a slanging match over it so it’s best to just leave it and get on to talking about other things. Most of what I heard I admit was second hand, as I wasn’t around at Bruntingthorpe at the time, and that’s what I formed my opinions from. I am perfectly happy to be proved wrong and be shown that what I said was wrong, there’s just not much point in calling people idiots etc just because of it

This is going to be my last post in this thread, for two reasons

a) because i’ve got better things to do and
b) because fighting on the internet is, as one good friend once told me, like winning the special olympics, no matters who wins you’re still a retard.

I was told about the comment from the chief engineer by someone at Bruntingthorpe, and was simply stating it as one of several reasons why I don’t support the project. Just because I volunteer with Philip and Ben doesn’t mean I automatically take their same stance and become a ‘parrot’ of what they say as you assume. I decided not to support the project a good while before I even considered volunteering at Bruntingthorpe, and trying to tell me that what I said is completely wrong isn’t going to change my stance on the project and whether i’ll donate money to it or not. I’m not totally against the project either, i’d love to see the Vulcan in the air, although unfortunately it now looks as if it’s going to happen

Can I ask what you meant by accusing me of having ideas above my meagre station (whatever that is anyway) and not being able to take what I give out? I posted the picture as a bit of light humour, up until very recently I actually supported the Vulcan project. The modified photo I posted was put up in it’s original form on the TVOC forum by a member there without the serial changed as an example of ‘what might happen’, which is the same as what I did, and wasn’t meant to put down the work of any engineers/volunteers etc working on the project
