You say that, 974 only came outside last week for the upcoming event!

Sorry just re-read my post and it may have come across as a criticism, which it wasn't, just nice to see 3 Buccs on one site!

Tony

Great update as always and with regard to the Buccaneers, there can't be many museums that have as many as YAM have, just a shame they are currently outside! With regard to the inventory listing, is there a reason you are cataloguing everything on paper, rather than as a spreadsheet? Curiousity need...

As they say in the Pirates of the Caribbean films, "them's more like guidelines"!

What you're not taking into account is the amount of the glass' content we had already supped between bar and table Tony! The landlord is scrupulous when it comes to not serving short measures. Phew, you had me worried for a minute but trust that you all followed the instructions written on the cha...

Great pictures, nice to see a collection of Harrier!

Has there ever been a time when a Kestrel Mk1, Harrier GR1, GR3, GR5, GR7, GR9, FRS1, FA2, T2, T4, T8 and T10 have ever been displayed together or is the above, the closest that there has been?

Excellent news and not an Hi-vis jacket in sight

Absoluting stunning update, a credit to all of you involved! The cobwebs in the empty space behind my eyes, seem to think that you may have mentioned it before, but was '788 originally built as an NF.14 and then later converted to an NF.14(T)? I ask, as I am beginning to think about a future build o...

It wouldn't surprise me if I have asked before, the question even seemed familiar as I was typing but thanks for the refresh, I'll try and do better next time

Another interesting update but as always, there is a (potentially stupid) question! How do you arrange work on '788? Do you have a fixed plan in place or do you decide what work to carry out, on a weekly basis, based upon the skill set of the volunteers, attending each week and/or what work is requi...

Nice to see the Chippie getting some airtime, that canopy looks to be in great condition!

The modeller in me says just think of the black paint as pre-shading!

One high capacity cable to make and fit and we have effectively a live jet, something which certain "experts" told us could never be done, yet here we are!

Great work as always and Ya Boo Sucks to the naysayers!

Nice work with the stringer, you make it look quick and easy but imagine it is far more time consuming than the pictures show :slight_smile: As for the bits found in the bottom of the fuel bay, I wouldn't mind betting that many of the 'uninitiated' would just throw it away as rubbish! What's that sa...

Yet another great update and I've just sent you a PM regarding the speakers!

Being a man of a certain age, not comfortable with modern technology, if you haven't received the PM, please let me know!

Cheers

Phew! I need a lie down, what a fantastic update and best wishes to you and the team for 2024! TT Not so sure about a lie down but definately think a trip to SpecSavers, is in order :slight_smile: It only seems like a couple of months has passed, since XV168 came into the hangar for repainting, not...

The rig is really starting to look the dogs dangly bits :thumbsup: should look good sat next to the Lincoln cockpit :slight_smile: I'll get pictures of the two speaker systems I have found, sorted out over the next couple of days, if you can send me a PM and let me have the correct contact details, ...

Good to see that the move has commenced smoothly, lets hope the that '963 move goes as well!

As an aside, is '293 the nose section that had a several items 'libertated', a few years ago?

Graham, if you want to go down the sound route, I think that I might have a PC speaker set that you can have gratis!

Let me know and I'll see if I can find it and take some pictures for you!

Wasn't this airframe owned (or at least stored in his garage) by Peter Arnold?

Does he still have any connection with '224?

Nice scheme! I seem to remember that TFC painted the airframe to represent an aircraft flown by 'Johnnie' Johnson, so is MV293 or MV268, the original serial number for this airframe? Also, was the airframe built as a Mk.XIV but painted by TFC, to represent a Mk.XVIII (or even the other way around),...

Cracking update, the cockpit mock up is looking a real piece of work, just got the rear cockpit to do, once the pilots position is finished!
