Thanks for that info, well that is truly inspiring then!, if theyre spending that sort of maney and taking things to those lengths then perhaps one day we could see three Lancs where they truly belong!

A-20

Whilst on the subject of A-20s, I met a bloke who had the remains of one in a sort of purpose built bungalow in Leicester somewhere, any ideas if its still extant?

And i think we’re all in touch with reality enough to know that a bare metal finish isnt going to be practical in our climate, particularly given that Sally B spends much of the year outdoors, hence why a coatal command finish would serve well on two counts , practicality and a new face on the airshow scene. And i know there are those that will disagree, but that white finish looks so realistic once the exhaust stains and the weather have done their best!

I may be wrong, and trust me I rarely am!! , But I vaguely recall Sally B was re-painted last time for either nowt or labour only, so there are deals to be had, personally i think my idea of asking the MOD to help is always worth a go, If you dont ask you dont get, thats why im the only 19 stone ugly bloke in my village with a ‘hot’ wife!

Well i believe charity begins at home,and if a way of getting people to pay for taxi rides is acheivable then lets get it sorted! As for colour schemes, how fantastic would she look in coastal Command colours? now that would attract some attention and i guarantee you wouldnt hear her engines whilst taxiing past the crowd line for the noise of camers shutters!

Or, give the YAM team the ‘real’ nose that their project so richly deserved.If you want a walk through nose then why not reconstruct that from wood,metal,old coke bottles and egg boxes so thousands of feet and touchy feely and dare i say it, occasionally sticky fingers dont damage the real deal!

CANT SEE IT!

WHICH INVADER?
