What are you towing it with? Not a poor old Mondeo again!! I see the welding repair needed a paint touch up... trailer looking good though!

Where was that? Good candidate to put back in the air or is she a spares donor?

Wings are off and on the trailer now. This will be flying again. The following is yet another one, or bits thereof. It is a donor..  |

600Km and 14 hours later, - HOME....  All a bit boring, no breakdowns, no lost trailers and no 'U' Turns even. Johnny F did ring though just to make sure we were managing ok and to offer a little support. I think this one is destined for the paint shop also. |

Well done Kev. I take it you couldn't find a spare Auster to throw on to steady the load?  |

Well done Kev. I take it you couldn't find a spare Auster to throw on to steady the load? Well.... perhaps something close was sitting there.  I would think it would be much like this one. Not an Auster but you would probably be familiar with some of the parts. It wouldn't have fitted so it was left behind. |

oh yes, it started first swing and after just 3 compressions. Running very sweetly so it will be subject to a full 100 Hourly now with 2 yearly Avionics plus all the other calendar maintenance it will be due after sitting for years. We have the proud owner on video during the first start and we noted the absence of 'Hi-5's', clapping, and other hysterics. I think it may have been more of a case of stunned silence as we were caught by surprise that it fired and started almost immediately. The engine had the 'Dulux Overhaul' but that is the important feature, it is the exhaust and airbox and the likes that really need the attention.  |
