ARCo will weather permitting be taking part in the flypast
as to which aircraft that is yet to be finalised
Mind you ARCo/HFL may be plotting, behind closed doors, to over throw the government using a flock of restored Spitfires.
Damm found out 😉
all was going well till we needed the permit to fly then disaster
the campaign against aviation found out :confused:
any one tried getting a permit in the last year ouch! 😡
we then found out we had friends in goverment who are looking into the
CAA, so had to cancel operation “plane speak” :diablo:
starship! starship!
oh b……….s
I forgot to order the docking clamps
it will cause hours of trouble drifting round the hanger chased by roobarb and his sonic screwdriver
maybe his dalek can zap it…………. :diablo:
Hey, there’s nothing candid about my camera CAS! It’s even recorded you on occasion. I may have to get a new “cover” now the Sainsbury’s bag has been rumbled :p
roobarb it was the six foot lens through the fence that gave you away not the sainsbury bag :rolleyes:
“possibly not”?
That’s the problem.
When you are selling anything you never actually know which enquiries (however unlikely) will result in sales and which are timewasters.
Pro salespeople treat them all as serious and survive. Those who play at it make their own judgement calls. Some survive, some go under.
Moggy
but going by that if ARCo/HFL are still in buisness as they appear to be. then it must be assumed that they are capable of discerning the serious buyer from the one with the sainsburys bag and candid camera.
I can thoroughly recommend the diner across the road from Niagara South Airport.
It`s a bit of a haul for breakfast though 😀
and a bit pricey inclusive of the BA flight…….
Must be one of the few amphibians around with a cabin with mirrored bulkheads…..;)
Roobarb :rolleyes:
have you been in there combing your hair then or just sorting another different camera angle on the bronco :diablo:
as stated the goose arrived in from weston on saturday for an extended maintenance program by ARC. it is expected to be at duxford for several weeks.
grab your camera while you can but you dont need to rush
When the owner can afford to do so, I suspect. Anyone provide a quote for a Spitfire respray?
🙂
if you seriously need a quote for a respray PM me
Thanks for putting me straight cas, do you remember how Smudge made them. As I believe Messerschmitt used to press out the complex shapes. Was some type of former constructed to work from or did they have a pattern to copy.
Septic.
ARC borrowed a set of cowlings to copy but the shapes were formed with pressings and a lot of wheeling and beating, plus a few abusive words,
the finnished items are a credit to a craftsman,
The majority of the work was carried out by ARCO although I believe the new panels were manufactured by Airframe Assemblies.
Septic
I can assure you the new panels were manufactured in house by ARC
ask smudge he`s still got the bruises……
TWO B17`s available for show bookings !!!!!
oh dear I can hear B17 Ltd crying already 🙁
the mk.14 of HFL is available for sale
there is a huey and a bell 47 taking part in the helitech show at duxford this week, both static,
sorry don`t know the numbers will have a look tomorrow if I get a chance
Shame there are none in this country with the bubble canopy any longer, I think they look quite smart. Having said that I have such a soft spot for the Chipmunk that I think there are too few about regardless of which canopy they are fitted with.
I believe there may have been an issue with the CAA over the canopy which would have prevented the aircraft from doing aerobatics, as this type of canopy was never certified in the UK
