Thanks to all.

Hi all

Thanks for all of the help, it has given us much food for thought, re painting or sticker’s. To be honest, I painted the roundels on our J.P. a few years ago, and the masking was a pain, that’s why I was thinking stickers!!

Bruce, those dimensions are just what I needed, just one question, are the dimensions to the center lines of the roundel?

Thank’s again,

Ritch and Max.

Thanks all.

Hi all

Thanks for the help so far, Whitley Project, do you remember the referance number for the part from Light Aero? These are needed for instrument panel mounts on a static rebuild of a WW11 type.

It’s a good job you have us all to look out for you Howard

It’s a good job you have us all to look out for you Howard, I dread to think what trouble you could get in to if left to your own devices!!!

Be carefull what you wish for Howard

Be carefull what you wish for Howard, just imagine what would happen if 30 pluss pimped cockpits turned up!!

And knowing how the likes of Anon and Pully always show the rest of us up, it could be quite a spectacle!! And Rocketeer and GeeDee with retro WW2 pimped rigs, its mind boggling to think what could happen.

Mind you, it would create yet another interesting “cross over” with the kit car guy’s!!!!!

Why?

Why would Rocketeer want to be behind the portaloo’s?

Howard!

Howard

I didn’t see you go by, sorry, but we were watching the gliders in the circuit at the time anyway!! Mind you, after Saturday evening, if I had seen you flashing your lights and waving at us, I might of thought you had decided to come and get your revenge after all!!!

Simon, thanks for the photo’s, and also for the bits you gave Max, also a big thank you to Anon for that very special Chippy part, it was quite a talking point over the weekend, as no body had ever seen a real one, only a picture in the AP under optional accessories.

Those of us who are regulars at Cockpitfest know just how Howard, Bill and all of the rest of the museum staff put there hears and souls into the event, and I am sure that any criticism from anyone on here is meant to constructive. So please don’t any of you at Newark get disheartend by our coments on here, we need for you all to keep doing what you do for us to make it happen.

Sorry to be a moaner.

Sorry if I seem to be moaning Howard, we know that your guys all do the best they can, and on the whole you all do a brilliant job. And non of you get anything other than soaking wet for thanks.

We were unlucky this year with our pitch, and if the event wasn’t so bloody good, there would be less of us to find space for! and I think that is a wonderfull problem for you to have.

Please don’t read to much into my moaning, I was also humiliated by being passed by a Jaguar on the way home, they even manage to out do us on the road!! Mind you, we were deep in conversation about what to bring next year at the time.

If I want you to pass on anything at the next meeting, make it our thanks for putting up with us, and putting on a great event. As Anon says, the turn out of both exhibits and visitors in such weather shows the strength and popularity of the event.

Thanks for the support.

Thanks for the support Anon.

But what realy hurt was being pushed down there to make room for a totaly non aviation item!!

On arrival, I was told that we should have been where the Army lorry was parked, next to anothe DH icon, the 125 cockpit, which would have been great. We know we don’t exactly turn up with world shattering projects each year, but we do work very hard to be there at all.

Still I got my own back!!!!! So next year I will be luck if we are not left outside the gates!!!!!

A big thank you.

A big thank you from the Leicester mob, as always it was brilliant to catch up with all our old friends and to make some new ones. The standard of cockpits on display was as high as ever, and it was great to see the progress being made on some of the older projects.

Personaly, we admired both the Twin Pin, as Simon said, you could practicaly see the jungle bellow from the cockpit windows as she circled to drop her troops and / or supplies. And Andy Blair’s J.P. becase we know what he started with, and can see how she is healing her wounds.

But everything was brilliant as ever. Thanks to Bill and his team for the organisation (but please, next year put us with everyone else!).

But my bigest thanks go to Howard, for his galentry in trying to save our supper, to me you will from now on be my own personal Boss Hog!!!!!!

Hope to be with you around 08-00 or slightly before, looking forward to the weekend and packed our raincoats.

Thanks for the information

Hi RMR

Thanks for the information, it all helps. For your records she is still hidden away in darkest Leicester, and we will be bringing her along to Cockpitfest in a few days time (which is where the photo was taken about three years ago).

Thanks again,
Ritch.
