For any Goodies fans (and those of us who DON’T have it on tape), some short clips here. Wonderful stuff.

Go on then Daz – post ’em up!

Who mentioned The Goodies! Must-see telly! Haven’t seen it in years. About time UK Gold ran it again for those of us who can remember it from time around! Michael Bentine’s Potty Time is worth another look too. Have just found this: http://www.thechestnut.com/potty.htm

Brings back some memories. That and Hendon and Old Warden in the seventies. Always sunny and happy days.

£25,000
Ouch!!!!!!

Ouch indeed. Buyer collects, I presume. If the spare engine is the one in the photos then it’s probably not worth more than £2.50, giben the amount it would cost to restore it just to display condition. The aircraft itself might weigh less if the moss was jet washed off it too. What is the reason for the sale? If it’s one of those whereby the site owners want shut of it, then will the aircraft become one of those which are bought with very good intentions and then funds run out, or will it become a scrapper? Be such a shame. Mind you, twenty-five grand seems an awful lot of anyone’s pocket money.

By all accounts you can get VERY close to it! Found these on another airfield researcher’s site taken very recently.

This one. The RAC one needs the 60 white victory bars added to the rudder though 😉

A cosmetic adornment for later, perhaps?

Here’s a shot of the Buchon I took on the 7th May, NOT flying but looking very good indeed (apart from the lack of cowlings!): http://airfieldarchaeology.fotopic.net/p28953267.html

Wasn’t there a website outlining this project at some point? A lot of Googling has produced nothing more than error 404’s or dud links from other web sites, despite a search query of FW189+restoration+society or combinations thereof.

Ideas? I seem to remeber ther being some quality photos on it.

S**t on a stick – that’s what I call a memorial!

Carpetbagger – your comments about the extant buildings comes as no surprise though!
