Going a bit off-topic, but Mondariz have you read this?
http://www.warbooksreview.com/war-books-review/2010/01/tforce-the-race-for-nazi-war-secrets-1945-.html
which covers the closing weeks of the Second World War and the early years of the occupation.
The Kings Regiment from Liverpool was at the heart of T Force and there are still quite a few survivors round the city.

An evening of petrol-head mayhem along the Dock Road in the centre of Liverpool, free of charge too.
Whole thing designed to sell tickets for the Cholmondeley Pageant of Power in July, a sort of northern version of the Goodwood Festival of Speed. I went last year and it was a great day out. http://www.cpop.co.uk it for more info, and no, I’m not on the staff!

Interestingly this weeks Autosport has a feature about a racing Bentley – Napier which uses a Lion engine. I can remember the exact power output but the driver did say that takes about 5 laps of slding around on power to shread £300 tyres!

Also, iirc he stated that the engine originated from one of Campbells boats. Its a good, interesting read if anyone wants to pick up a copy.

Here’s the beast in question, doing a pretty good job of coverting petroleum spirit into noise in the centre of Liverpool this evening.

BMW R1100RS as the main mount, plus a Yamaha Diversion 600 in the back of the garage as the project.

Bikes and aviation often seem to go together. I’m part of the staff of an internet biker social group and there’s quite a few folk got something of an aeronautical background, mainly in engineering, but the site owner has just got his PPL.

Picture shows the garage on Christmas Day – I’d hoovered the house, cooked the Christmas dinner, done all the washing up and reckoned I was owed some me-time!

SE-DAI is “alive” at Stockholm in the sense of being taxiable. The long-term aim is to fly it….cheques payable to the Caravelle Club, please!

This went up on the NATS website half an hour ago:

Statement on Icelandic volcanic eruption: Thurs April 15, 09:30
From midday today until at least 6pm, there will be no flights permitted in UK controlled airspace other than emergency situations. This has been applied in accordance with international civil aviation policy. We continue to monitor the situation with the Met Office and work closely with airline customers and adjoining countries.

Whenever I’ve had the chance to talk TSR2 with people that were directly involved, at various levels, they’ve never said anything concerning their own role that would flatly contradict what Chox has said, although there would certainly be differences of emphasis.
On a slightly frivolous note, it has to be said that the TSR2 was quite a handsome beast. Sometimes I wonder if the nostalgia, the what-if yearning, would be quite so strong if it had been a creature of undescribable ugliness?
