This Saturday the Nimrod team will once again be at Elvington to have on last go at resolving the fuel leak on the Stbd engine on the Buccaneer. Failure to complete this task is not even worth thinking about as it will mean the engine will have to come out :eek::eek: and that Ladies & Gentlemen is not an option!!

We are forecast temperatures of a tropical +6 at Yam so why not pop along and say hello

We will be easily identifiable as the ones carrying massive sledgehammers and a pee’d off look in our eyes:p:p

Hiya,
Richard – Woods-Group

Thought I`d better throw some flares…

K, our prices are based on what we feel is the value of the piece –
I am responsible for pricing – beat me up – it`s not an issue, we do sell at those prices, and pieces go to collectors all over the world…..

– but –

I`ve only ever had contact with very few on here and I`ve always accomodated on pricing when I`ve been asked to…..just ask, goodness –

All you ever need to do is ask – no real need to consider getting nasty….a little weird that…

One point – we have saved all of this gear from becomming scrap – it will never be scrapped – I would have thought you might have appreciated that little thing, at least…for me, this is all wonderfully engineered and stunningly beautiful gear and I hate to see it go – …especially for pennies – no chance –
so, we will keep on saving as much as we can from being scrapped/pulped/ripped to shreds for pathetic amounts of gold and I will keep valueing it as highly as I do –
little defensive rant over – Richard

In the interests of fair play and balance after my rant before, we would like here to state that we have had dealings with Richard and his company in the past (escape chutes etc) and we have found him very helpful and fair in all dealings.

11th & 12th May

Standby for Broadcast, Standby for Broadcast

Over the weekend of the 11th & 12th May Elvington air museum will once again be hosting the very impressive Battle Group North Event where re-enactors, displays and military vehicles by the hundreds take over the entire site. Their website is http://www.battlegroupnorth.co.uk/

This year there is to be an added bonus……………………………………………

LIVE TAXING AIRCRAFT:):):):):)

Yup the big boys and girls are coming out to play:D:D the times and running order are to be confirmed however the initial plan is that on the Saturday the Buccaneer & Nimord XV250, The Maid of Moray will fast taxi and engines will be run at full throttle and on the Sunday the Buccaneer & Victor XL231 Lusty Lindy will grace the runway and make much noise. As well as the taxiing aircraft there will hopefully static engine runs from the DH Devon and the Se5a and POSSIBLY depending on the serviceability the Dakota’s first outing 😉

More info to follow as we get it.

Next Thunder runs are planned for Sunday 7th April, most aircraft are playing so why not come along, go on you know you want to :cool::cool::cool:

Just passed an F4 on a low loader heading south on the A1 at Harrogate. Looked like one of the Leeming ones but don’t quote me etc.

Final Nimdet 2012

My Lords, Ladies, Gentlemen, Victor bods and even the Aircrew of this parish.

This weekend we bring you the Nimrod XV250 winter prep engineering weekend. We will all be in attendance all weekend (although there is the ever so slightly possibility that we might be a tad ‘shabby’ on Sunday morning due to Hobgoblin consumption)

Lots of engineering going on, a bit of aircraft chess on Sunday as the wee ‘puddle jumper’ aircraft get put to bed for winter, and loads of opportunities to talk all things Maritime, Nimrod and aviation in general.

So if you have nowt to do and want an aircraft fix come and join us and say hello

Nimrod Mate, do you have some information that you cant share with us at this stage re the nimrod?

Sorry for the late reply, I have just seen this. In a word Yes!!!

Nimrod ’32’ is in the same boat as the Shack with regards to Coventry. all will become clear in a week or 2.
