FireBex is your man, he has converted several trailers inc ones for Spitfires. He might even be looking at selling one or two but am not sure if he still has them.

I am sooo glad we got the Bucc sorted, lots of blood, sweat & tears over the last few weeks, don’t think my old back could have taken much more punishment, but what a relief when she behaved perfectly last Sunday, cannot wait to see her on the runway on Saturday and Sunday. Suppose we had better turn our attention back to the Nimrod or she will be feeling unwanted and unloved. First ground crews will be in position from Thursday morning to till late Sunday to ensure all the aircraft run sweetly and most importantly to make as much noise as possible :cool::cool::cool:

Thank you very much David.

I was confused by the Runnymede memorial bit when I started looking, I can only surmise she went down in the channel.

So what are the plans with it?

Hopefully we aim to get it to a ground taxiing condition like other exhibits at the Museum. Next stop the brakes and braking system!!

Thanks nimrod mate.. the one tube video showed a noticeable white smoke from one of the stbd engines with something dripping from the tail pipe etc I presume that was just built up moisture etc and not fuel then?

Hi Peter. The white smoke is normal with the Nimrod on start up, the dripping was two months accumulation of rain, snow and moisture that had worked its way through the airframe around the engines.

We protect the jet internally by running 2 dehumidifiers 24/7 which are located in the cockpit and nav benches respectively (Lindy has one running in her cockpit 24/7 as well) unfortunately unless we win the lottery and can get a hanger built for the big jets we are at the mercy of the elements for years to come.

Great job guys and girls!! The youtube videos are great but it looks as though the nimrod got a little to anxious about her ground run and had a wee piddle on her parking spot…? Good practice for the fire crews though…:)

The Wee piddle is the fire crews! after every run they hose down under the engines in case of any contamination from fuel and oil. Well that’s what they tell us, we think they just want to see us kneel in cold water when we check the engines :rolleyes:

We can also confirm that no Canberra aircraft were harmed in the making of this thunder day 😉
