Mmmm nice – too bad she’s off to foreign shores before too long though. Any idea on whats next for the Hawker Restorations team?

Dunno about id’s, but that’s the only time i’ve seen a woman so happy to see a plane she’s done a little dance :p

Best A Team moment was when they came across a rusty old Sherman tank on some private island, while they were driving around in a Deuce and a half. From what I remember, they simply put the batteries from the Deuce 1/2 into the Sherman, tinkered it about and off it went! Funnily enough the ammunition and firing systems worked fine as well

More recently, does anyone remember the 1990’s ‘Budgie the little helicopter’? My brother used to watch it and sometimes I would, it was a cartoon and I seem to remember one of the characters later on in the series being a flying boat, possibly a Walrus? I think he was old and had a moustache

Cheers Roobarb – was looking over this thread earlier actually. Not sure if it’s been mentioned before, but although the Mk I and IV noses are interchangeable in that they fix at the same point, the electrical etc stuff attaches at different places so the rumour that the noses could be swapped around isn’t true. Will have to try and get that mag if I get down town tomorrow. Hoping to join the Blenheim Society as well.

Would this be P2902 G-ROBT, the Mk I? There’s a thread about her here from not too long ago http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=37059&highlight=p2902 , do hope it is her

When I spoke to him he just said about a year ago it was put into storage and wasn’t really viewable, and would eventually be worked on, so this is quite a surprise! If I get the chance i’ll ring him tomorrow and see if he knows anything about it, he said to me that there was no hardware at his place so my guess is that the Boston was moved somewhere in the area, certainly looks like it, could be to raise funds for restoring the other bits of Boston, i’ll let you all know what I find out.
