Don’t suppose Mr Grey is doing just that with his M22? :diablo:

Anyone know its current wearabouts and status? Its not buried in Area 51 is it?

BTW: is the ‘new’ TFC XIII just getting a repaint or is it a bit more in depth than that?

Sometimes Bruce, in the knowledge of what has gone before, somethings perhaps maybe best left unsaid….. :rolleyes:

Cue a flood of negativity from the unusually large numbers of professional business analysts whom frequent this forum. 😀

Ahemmmm……..

What is it with these wind and wires types?

Art? ART?

In another 50 years this component will likely have thin but robust provenance for a serious rebuild to airworthyness?

Hi Mark 12,

Was my guess about the stumpy barrells correct?

I’m amazed that FLYPAST magazine are content that this thread is still alive and with full Moderated blessing on their flagship forum representing their commercial interests. Can’t be good for the business if some of the vocal experts are found to have been shooting from the hip? ………

Perhaps an off topic forum Sunset would be more appropriate for this post now given the bordering on slanderous nature of several posters……?

Yet another thread on 558 and all that is involved, starts with an innocent query, moves to the ‘I know more about it than you do’ dick dance which involves copious amounts of personal attacks and ends up going way off topic.

As far as I can see (and I class myself as a very inexperienced person) they tried and are near failure but appear not to be going down without a fight, even if it fails at this point in time someone who see’s the potential will probably be able to pick up the torch and finish the job, maybe not this year or maybe not the next but one thing is for sure it is hard to ignore the amount of work and effort that has gone into this job and at the very least she will be rolled out of the hanger in a better condition than when she went in (I hope!).

Please, from a person who lives in hope and optimism lets not go through with this type of thread again and support the crew in getting her back to where she belongs, no matter how rocky the road.

Kindest regards,

John.

Wise words indeed.

Trust Moggy can understand too?

One of the kind chaps over at WIX has posted some excellent interior pictures of the partially dismantled B36 at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson

Pima B36

Great pics

I’d suggest that this thread be pinned asap Mr Mods.

Stranger things have been known to happen.

You never know what madness may be afoot in magical NU LAbour land………
