Couldn’t put it better myself – very nice response Kev 🙂

I came from a ‘working’ knowledge of some of the types now considerably ‘historic’ and an attachment to a certain Hunter having been given the chance to enjoy my free time helping out others in the same field. That coupled with the internet era and this forum has given me the chance to expand my knowledge and curiosity well beyond how I imagined it could.

I’m not an expert, just someone who has been around aircraft for so long that I think I even fall into the historic listing at times 😮 I’ve been incredibly lucky and priviliged to still be involved so long after my working time on them ceased (that was back in 1989), and this forum provides a good window to look back on some memorable times….

Hmmm – funnily enough my thoughts were on Caravelle too – but after browsing images on Google I couldn’t be certain as there seemed to be an extra wing fence outboard on all the examples I could see?

However, in the interests of this search – I spent some time fiddling with images on my pc, and came up with this comparison shot which seems to be very close apart from the angle of the trailing edge when trying to match the angle of the leading edge, if you see what I mean?

Curiosity has got me intrigued now – hopefully we’ll get a definitive answer to this one 😀

On Streetview it’s noticable that there is a quite large wing fence either side of the centre – does that make it any easier to identify?

I would have thought that was the result of way too much torque effect than bad welding….. ripping bolted on parts out is quite easy compared to ripping welded metal :diablo:

Interesting clip indeed…..

JP’s with smoke systems – not seen that before either.

The white gnat was XM693, one of the development aircraft and now pole mounted outside the original Hamble factory site.

Here’s a very simple You-Tube movie I put together with the camera, its editing software and its supplied music. One of my previous aeroplane group members off for a flight.

I don’t claim to be a whiz, and this was done with no thought or pre-planning – so be kind.

Just been watching one of your other Vids Moggy – love the Ultimate High one I must say 🙂

Haven’t a clue as to it’s current whereabouts but google threw up an intersting photo of G-ASOL which might interest you as it appears to have had some modifications:

It would be interesting to see an exact match-up of the shepherd photo taken today.

Found it! Using Google Streetview and a bit of virtual wandering around the village 😉

I’ve got some alloy scaffolding, one of those old perspex bowl telephone kiosk covers, and a Villiers 2 stroke – could you make a D model from that?

:diablo: Brilliant…..lol

Only thing that springs to mind is one of those special greasers used by motorcyclists and classic vehicle chaps that forces grease down a bowden type cable end which may force any dud grease out or at the very least lubricate the cable length? That may ease the movement of the seized part, but I’ve never actually tried it, only read similar online…

Edit: Also found THIS link which may be of help – bizzare as it looks…
