    Peter,

    Yes most certainly. Its a bit faded but should polish up ok. With Tim’s help ( aka ‘Fouga23’ ), it’s just a question of finding and refitting the main missing bits (instrument panels, seats, stick tops etc….) but progress is already being made with that πŸ˜€

    Some ‘in service’ photo’s below (courtesy the NA3T transport archive and forumite ‘Barnstormer’)….

    To quote Wikipedia….

    “After the war Goldfinch settled with his wife Pauline and their daughter at Poole, Dorset, where he was borough engineer. On retiring as acting city engineer of Salisbury in 1974, he devoted himself to his love of flying and making aircraft. He built a Luton Minor in the 1970s, which he flew regularly from Old Sarum Airfield until he was in his late eighties.

    Over his last eleven years Bill Goldfinch had worked for five days a week, with secondhand materials, on his version of a seaplane which had been developed for the US Navy in the 1920s. It was to have had its second taxiing trials the day after he died.”

    That does look bad, I hope its not to serious and can be repaired.

    Possibly not, Ritch’s post (number 14) of this thread may answer your question….

    Mark,

    Yes i can see the ethos behind the use of the word ‘club’, but i’ve never viewed it as a club in the normal sense, such as a railway club or bowls club…. more of the fact that like minded souls have a central stimulas in a ‘group’ sense. Kinda hard to explain – sorry.

    I echo the sentiments and thank Mark also, but why are most talking in a past tense ?

    Is nobody interested anymore ? Just shrug shoulders and walk away without any effort to save ICC ?

    That’s a shame Fouga – perhaps you need to make it sectional like the Dutch gentleman at last year’s event….

    Not to worry…. perhaps a Fouga cockpit will make it before 2011 πŸ˜‰

    Just one note of advice – be very wary of modelling forum sites like Britmodeller and ARC. Like most of these sites they are “one man” projects run by modellers and as such they don’t exercise any editorial control, so you can read all kinds of rubbish in the forum threads which isn’t necessarily true. They’re worth a look for snippets of information but be careful not to assume that just because you read something, it’s true!

    Agree with the other guy about the above statement.

    It’s a free country and your entitled to your opinion, but so am i, and my opinion is your talking out of your a’rse when slagging off some great modelling forums.

    I presume your merely a former member with a grudge ? http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t224/WN957/Emoticons/nono.gif
