Indeed, we’ve been VERY privelleged indeed I feel to have seen all that we have, so we’ve got to let all those good lads save SOMETHING for the official unveiling! 🙂
You could join the Lincs Lanc Association and get one sent to you each year, or contact the BBMF directly, or happen to be at an airshow where they are being given out.
Fascinating stuff- thanks for taking the time to write that.
Me, I just soak the decals in some warm water for a couple of minutes! :rolleyes: 😀
Thanks to Fluffy also, for the wonderful shot of the markings in progress. Really you guys, you’re making a Lancaster enthusiast- and one who’s very enthusiastic indeed about your particular Lancaster- very happy indeed.
I’d like to ask you about something that’s always baffled my possibly simple brain; what’s the process for spraying roundels? Is it something like spray a coolur, mask it, spray the next colour etc? As it beats me how it’s done with such tidy, perfectly circular accuracy and all that! :confused:
Peter, it was a satin finish that they brought in last time she saw a paintgun, and in my humble enthusiast’s opinion she looked the best she ever has for it; looks like the same thing has been done again?
Looked up and duly appreciated. Well done! 🙂
*Grins like a totally demented (but very happy) Lanc-nutter* 😀 😀 😀
Oh, which one?
On the subject of the Vulcan, I note that it’s down as a ‘TBC’ on the online Yeovilton Air Day participants list, for 7th July; if they miss the Falklands date, I wonder if they’ll make some later dates this year?
A brief glimps in primer.
Tease! 😀
Great to see her back on the ground; I hope the painting goes well, and that we might still get the odd glimpse of proceedings before the big unveiling!
A further wonderful treat of photos, we’ve been very privelleged to see these I think. 🙂
I thought it would all go incommunicado once the paint guns came out- don’t want to spoil the thunder before any official photos/unveiling, I guess?!
Blimey, they’re doing more re-skinning work on her at Coventry than I thought!
Oh hang on, wrong thread…
😀
It’s a gorgeous looking, well-built website, much like the aircraft it’s about! I’d like to see a lot more pictures of the restoration process though- something I felt was also quite lacking from the book, too. (It was all India and little in the way of nuts and bolts, I thought!)
When an aircraft is rebuilt so well, so exactly as was R4118, you really want to see more of that process, you know?
Fluffy mate, that looks absolutely quacking! 😉
