Telebrief! Thanks for that, I knew the name but it escaped my head this morning :diablo:
I know that my Hunter has bits & bobs fitted in the rear fuselage for it, but can’t think what they look like apart from the external socket on it’s hinged panel. Just looking at the various sockets on this box made me think of the system and wonder if it was part of it?
My comms knowledge is a bit limited as an Airframe guy 😀
My brain’s not fully alert this morning – but what’s the name of the comms system used on QRA and the like, with a quick-disconnect bit that the groundcrew talks to aircrew via, and is designed to pull out when aircraft taxi’s out?
Just wondered if this box has some function in that?
A blue VW Passat Sport TDi – according to online data :diablo:
was told by someone at work they saw a nimrod on a low loader on Sunday on the M42 near Coleshill, sorry no numbers and cant guarantee his accuracy. Any ideas where to other than the scrappy round there that frags airframes?
Sure it might not have been the latest C-130 fuselage move to Hixon for parting out? One came up from Boscombe Down…
Similar to the bowser chassis but much shorter wheelbase from the photos?
Would be rather unstable if it was……
I have no clue what it’s origin is, but the above was obvious to me.. :confused:
1976 and 1983 are the dates I have for both appearances at Greenham Common (photos of both are there). Retirement was only a year later in 1984 but in 1983 it seems it went to a lot of shows judging by the amazing volume of photos taken of her that year…
Oh, and thanks for your comment 😀
More ‘tweaking’ has been carried out within the limitations of the free tools. Sadly I couldn’t add more pages as this disrupted the clean look of the top toolbar. Likewise a trial of adding ‘return to top of page’ failed miserably, so more information has been added to the homepage in multi-column format instead. I must stop fiddling with it too much as it could end up messy….
Hi Richard,
I can’t move the ‘toolbar’ at the top – it’s one of the limitations of the free website builder I’m afraid? I tried different looks within the limited tools and nothing came up looking as easy on the eye as that which I used….
Good point about the basic’s of XF382 – something else for me to consider given the limits I had available – it may happen if I can fit it in without making it cluttered etc…
Thanks for your comments Richard..
I may have to look at adding something like a “return to top of page” link at the bottom of each page – but that’s the sort of constructive comment I need from third parties so expect ‘improvements’ as time allows 😀
Hi Mark,
No problem doing just that – I am in the middle of making a list of sources actually as I am aware that people like to know their websites were used during the building of mine… I’ll be updating that bit later on today.
As for additional photos of the dismantling – that would be superb when you get the chance – thankyou!
Hi Peter,
I only use Firefox myself anyway – not sure which bits appear odd to be honest :confused:- it’s a free website which has limited formatting and I only used the most basic stuff to keep it as ‘clean cut’ as possible… 😉
Thanks Bruce! Just didn’t want to tread on toes etc….
|RLWP: The toolbar at the top was commented on by someone recently as being nice and clear and clutter-free… Hope that you’ve found your way round now? 😮
Sorry – guilty of slipping off-topic with my original post with the Youtube Vids 😮
Never implied they were of the Severn rail bridge – I was watching a clip of the demolition of the correct bridge and found those other clips on the sidebar, and got kind of sucked into the whole ‘flying under bridges’ thing…
Regarding the Clifton Suspension Bridge incident – I was told about that as a child when being driven past the precise spot where it went in… as my grandfather was on 501 Sqn at the time 🙁
