    There does not seem to be a compelling reason to build the ugly NF36, especially when you are starting with only a shoe box full of bits.

    What they clearly do need is a massive boatload of cash, and while there are people out there with such resourses, they would have to be asking themselves what are the advantages in joining forces with T.P.M .

    That is a bit of a tricky question.

    The route is shown here.

    As Halton is last, I suppose the timing is the most uncertain, if the schedule slips at all during the tour.

    I bet they do Sywell on the way home !

    You must mean the Lithuanian Library Association.

    ”The Lithuanian Librarians‘ Association second workshop in the Building Strong Library Associations programme will be held Sept 30 in Klaipeda, Lithuania. The group of 15 people representing national, regional and municipal public libraries as well as academic and school libraries work together with national trainer Claudia Lux on the topics of developing strategic relationships and partnerships as well as fundraising issues.”

    Sounds boring as hell.

    I’m off to the Lincolnshire Lancaster Association’s top secret gathering 😉

    For the few slackers who have not memorised the identification and serial numbers of all aircraft in post war RAF service , XG743 is a Vampire.

    That might just about pay for a new wing for this errant Jodel , which ended up in the fence. 🙁

    Another lost today, though happily with two good ejections.

    ”The Breitling Jet Team has lost its number two aircraft during a team repositioning flight from Den Helder, Netherlands to Kleine Brogel, Belgium. The incident on 15 September involved an apparent engine problem with the Aero Vodochody L-39 Albatros and prompted pilot Bernard Charbonnel and technician Raphael Savoye to safely eject from the aircraft and land safely.

    Realising something was wrong, pilot Charbonnel reported an engine problem with the No. 2 aircraft. Following standard team procedures, he calmly informed the team and left the formation accompanied by a second aircraft, selecting the safest place for the aircraft to come down, an empty field away from people and livestock.

    Charbonnel said, “When we were returning from Van Helder and I felt unusual vibrations, I realised very quickly something was wrong and reported an engine problem. We followed the emergency procedures by the book and my technician ejected at 2,000ft and myself at 1,500ft at approximate speeds of 250 to 300 km/hour.”

    Team Leader Jacques Bothelin said, “I am very proud of my team, their expertise and experience is second to none. With the timing from first vibrations to ejection being less than one minute, Charbo executed everything with cool professional airmanship.”
