AWESOME!!
I have been following this rebuild for a long time and always liked seeing the progress on my visits. Hearing that it has flown is such great news. Well done to Warren and the team.

I've posted some forum nametag images for people to use, to reduce the number of awkward questions as we try to meet up, and to help with remembering the names of 10 people you have just met! You can copy from here. I've done an update to one of the badges, to make it closer to business card size, and to remove some of the shading (which doesn't work very well when printed). Download again from the post linked to if desired. |

Will anyone be out there after 2pm? I am thinking of driving out. I will be the blond tall guy with a canon Camera. Where abouts is the hangar?
Kind Regards

Sadly I'm not out there today but Avspecs are in Hangar 59, Kittyhawk Lane. So if you just follow the main road at Ardmore Airport (Harvard Lane), once you go follow the tight bend around it becomes Kittyhawk Lane. Hangar 59 is at the end on the right (next to blue and white hangar). Hope this helps and enjoy the day....I hope you get to see the Tomahawk fly  |

Sorry for the Pic, I took it directly into the sun. Best I could do. The Tomahawk sounds AWESOME! Photobucket and other hosting companies giving trouble so I am using the uploader! Regards JP Attachments:
