2. Administrators Jabo Posted June 7, 2015 2. Administrators Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 I've had a very pleasant morning as a guest of TFC at Duxford getting a tour of the hangar with the chief engineer with the opportunity to get really up close and personal with the fleet. I've probably found out more about maintaining and operating historic aircraft this morning than in my previous 40-something years - here's some pictures of the highlights.

2. Administrators Jabo Posted June 8, 2015 Author 2. Administrators Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Thanks chaps. Arthur - I'm sat in TF-51 "Miss Velma", the biplane is a Beech Staggerwing, and there is progress on the beaus engines, as some early Bristol Hercules engines are starting to turn up in New Zealand - TFC are yet to acquire any but things are looking up.
