    It would look even nicer in Royal Thai Air Force markings.

    Mark

    It would look even nicer with a 60 series Griffon on the front !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    AvroF: Have you got a date for when these pics were taken?

    Am I right in remembering that it’s first post-restoration flight was very early 1992? About tea time.

    September 4/5th 1993. On our way home from Oostmalle.

    I think it was early 1992.

    Would I be right in saying that’s the Thames Estuary down there…?

    Not unless they moved it to Belgium.

    Looks like TBirdman flying it.

    At least he hasn’t got that “tea towel” wrapped around his head.

    Does anyone know of any old Jet Engines or Prop Engines that are for sale dirt cheap??
    They don’t have to be pristine as prepared to work on them…
    The idea is to trailer mount and take around to shows – anyone?
    Perhaps you could PM………..

    I took a few shots tonight of Halifax NA337 at the RCAFM Museum.

    Her wings are now re-attached.

    What a beautiful site!

    The below is from a Lancaster addict….
    This project is a credit to your efforts, Its a shame some of the major organisations this side of the pond cant turn out this sort of restoration.
    keep up the good work. One day I may even get over to see it with my own eyes.

    Here’s 2 for you, as you can see XH672 is looking pretty good now that Cosford have finished the repaint (taken December 2004) and a sad shot of poor old XH650 on the Manston Fire Ground 1978.

    XH650 looks better than Duxfords example.

    A final selection of scans from old colour prints.

    All the best

    Septic.

    TFC P38 first display, I have some air to air of that on the way back to Duxford, will dig them out and put them up. Also, I recognise myself running the TFC Hurricane in the next photo as well. I seem a few years younger, I wonder why.
