Thankyou Baz and everyone for your kind words regarding WH887, How are the Canberras coming along Baz……i know you have done alot of hard work with WT525.

I really echo the same points as the Dumfries museum team , i display at newark to show people my pride and joy and the work acheived in that year or since i have owned her ……..
i cant make people like the Canberra and if they show no interest in her then may be they will like another cockpit or display piece, but if i get just 1 person say to me wow WH887 has come along way and well done ……. then that has made my weekend and i know i must be on the right lines to hopefully one day completing her.
Already working 887 ready for 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi there guys well what another great cockpitfest………..it really does go from strength to strength, a big thankyou to everyone at Newark and their sponsors for making the event as good as it is:cool:
The standard of the cockpits seems to go up every year…..we are trying to keep with the pace setters with WH887 😮
It was great to meet up with friends and also made alot more over the weekend, well done to Mike and Daz both very worthy winners!!!

Joking aside its a great feeling to see parts of 887 working again……….never in my wildest dreams would i have thought that putting power back on to 887 was possible when i first see her 😮
