…doesn’t mean someone can’t ask anew!

I should imagine she’d get a ferry permit, maybe, to wherever she’d need to go to be stripped down to the nitty-gritty, be re-sparred, etc etc; then again, why not just play much safer and take her by road, eh?

I still think that while PA474 is up and running, she’s better off how and where she is; she should only fly if we suddenly, God-forbid, find ourselves lacking an airworthy Lanc in the UK. 😮

As Black Knight says, this particular Bucc ain’t going anywhere; it’s engines are being kept ‘live’ for the day when one of them will form the power plant of a new British challenger on the world water speed record.

Mind you, the guy that is developing and intending to pilot said craft is a ‘bit’ of a self-promoter, but the craft itself remains just at the spaceframe stage, and is years behind schedule, money being a serious issue. So, the Bucc will be staying whole for a good while yet methinks!

If this works, this’ll take you to some more info-

Good to hear that some better info boards are planned for the dread RAFM! I just take the blasted old place as I find it, but when I first went there with the now Mrs Lancman, (Lancwoman?!) she remarked a lot of the time that the ‘boards weren’t very good’-and that’s from someone who knew nothing about aircraft in the slightest!

Don’t get me started on the Elvington Airfix!

As I’ve said before, I want to see their pieces of Stirling on display-no matter how scattered and tatty there are-and I also do NOT want the proposed rice and chips (half and half) job that is to be done on the Hampden. In years to come, if that is half restored as they’ve said they’re going to do, we’ll all be looking at it exactly as we’re looking at the Hallybag now; ‘Oh, I wish they’d done it properly…’. NOW is the time to voice things, and see that the Hampden doesn’t end up in the same half-assed state.

Rant over!

Jezza can do no wrong in my book-a few more opinions freely expressed on TV like his are, please!

Last time I ate there, I think it DID come out of the gutter outside!

They never did reply to my email about the food quality, either. 😡

I agree with Damien that the show has moved away from what it was being touted as-the first episode was heavy on the modern day pilots flying in the Spit stuff, but since then, it’s moved on to become an astonishingly good BofB documentary, one that’s not all packed into 50 minutes, but rather, one that is taking it’s time to really explain things over a few weeks.

The Dams one was good, but ultimately, they modern RAF crew were sat in a plywood thing that we could all build, playing with software that we can all buy from PC World if we want!
