Re: A-W Meteor NF.14 WS788 Restoration Project
The update maybe behind but absence makes the heart grow fonder
Just one thing, leave the Stag alone, it’s a thing of beauty, well to these eyes away and that’s from a previous MGB GT V8 owner

Re: YAM Buccaneer Day Event Evening/Nightshoot
They might be just quick shots but very well taken and I particularly like the first one of '168, the one of '974 with the sun behind her tail and the first side on view of '901!

Re: A-W Meteor NF.14 WS788 Restoration Project
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...

Re: Happiness is Vectored Thrust .....
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?

Re: A-W Meteor NF.14 WS788 Restoration Project
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...

Re: A-W Meteor NF.14 WS788 Restoration Project
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 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!

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

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?

Re: A-W Meteor NF.14 WS788 Restoration Project
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!
