    And if you make it on Sunday – pop over to the Hunter and say hello! I’ll be spending the day tinkering with her and will gladly give you an in-depth tour!

    That same “thrust” might have a somewhat detrimental effect on the surface finish etc of the aircraft behind….:diablo:
    I have heard of prop aircraft being started using that kind of method, but that’s it……. :confused:

    Amazing what sort of things we got away with years ago… could never happen again – or could it? :eek:;)

    Avpin or Cartridge Start – either was a tentative moment on Hunters at Brawdy… Having someone “ready to beat out the flames” on the Cart start ones didn’t exactly inspire confidence in a young lad like me….. 😮

    My options are:

    1) 558 could make good use of it’s bomb bay and be an excellent PR excercise when targetting Elstree….. pig poo seems an appropriate load to carry…. :diablo:

    2) Once all the contestants had entered, secure the entire house which ahs actually been constructed inside a life-ex large transport airframe – fly direct to Iraq / Afghanistan……. and leave it there!!!!! :D:D

    3) RAF Role Demo takes on a new level using the BB house as target building – just don’t tell those inside…. 😮 (Obviously build the next house on a remote airfield first…. ;))

    Pete, hate to burst your bubble but the wing section displayed under EE531 at Coventry is not a folding wing section! Its the partially exposed outer wing section from EE223, recovered from Cranfield’s fabled Aeronautical section (along with other goodies) back in the early days of MAM. it was used as an aid to demonstrate the internal structure of typical wing construction.
    I also worked on EE531 in its days before being put into the display hangar and never saw any evidence of modifications to facilitate a folding wing mechanism being installed.

    I have now sat down rather than bow to your superior knowledge….. 😮 😮 😀

    I think it’s all the talk about a certain other airframe with folding bits got me confused 🙁

    Underneath the Meteor at Coventry there are the folding wing sections – I thought it was a bit more sketchy as to which airframe they were attached to. Early trials like this seem to lack the comprehensive documentation etc that we get today.

    Its a pity that there are no airworthy examples in the UK to mark this anniversary and next years 60th !

    What’s happened to the examples at Coventry then? (Air Atlantic’s):confused:
