Mike’s new swing?

I love Jon’s pic of Mike playing on his new swing. Santa came early this year!!
But seriously, a great day out at Brunty, and always a pleasure to meet up with these guys. A job well done, with smiles all around, and sorted quickly as well.

Mind you, Jon didn’t look so happy when they drove off without him!! I guess Mike was in a hurry to get his new toy home, or was it something he said?

And Howard, speaking for the Leicester lads, we are always up for helping a good cause.

Merry Christmass to everyone out there in Aviation Preservation Land, and here’s to another great year in 2010.

Wet sponge anyone?

Howard
What do you recon to us re enacting that photo at Cockpitfest 2010, and selling wet sponges at £1.00 a go? Just to give the aircraft a wash of course!!! And all in the name of charity!!!!

I didn’t like to ask!!

Hi Martin
I didnt like to ask, as we are already asking a lot from you, I thought it better to spread it around a bit!! Anyway, you are supposed to be at work!!

If it’s in one piece, that’s a good start!

Hi Dave
If it’s in one piece, then it’s better than what we have now!!! and any other bits (the knurled nut sounds a great start!!), you know we have a good home for them.
Incidentaly, she is now in the lockup near our home next to the one you visited, and is coming on in leaps and bounds. Max spends hours curled up inside the cockpit, and I will be attaching the rear fuselage very soon.
Best wishes,
Ritch Blood.
