Duxford And Normandy Pics

[JensenPark]

at the IMW at Waterloo...

From the Reichstag itself I think...

A fine group of Dogz.

on the way to getting drunk. You can always tell a Dogz glass at a bar...it's the empty one.

You can tell this is photoshopped. Painless never brushes his teeth.

From the ARC private tour

bad photo taken inside of Painless' spit

Spit 1 rebuilding. Notice the handle on the right...this is for manual gear lowering/raising. Not so nice app on the Mk 1.

Wing getting rebuilt for the Mk 1. Four techs working full time for 3 years for just two wings.

At the IWM museum at Duxford (where the curator clearly stated they are in the business of 'preservation, not restoration'. They view restoration akin to blasphemy in their world:

"looks like 3 spits to me!"

Spanish He111. They are trying to get rid of it...even for free.

A Bollingbrook.

this is where my camera started dying. sorry for the lousy quality of the shot. This is from the actual Skunks Works shop from the states. Given to the curator personally by the famous Kelly Johnson.

FT explaining something. Sid hoping FT goes into silent mode.

on the bollingbrook, the curator, Chris, was telling us how they noticed this box on the floor attached to a pipe/tube exiting the craft that they had never seen before.

they thought at first it was for dropping flares, but came to the conclusion it was for releasing courier pigeons.

different Blenheim/Bollingbroke

Roger...aka B16Enk...our congenial web host...and one of the older Dogz. In both age and seniority.

Mustang heaven...

old friend of mine flew with this squad...for those Canucks out there: Gwyn Morgan, who was the founder of Encana Corp, is an honourary Colonel with this squad.

Painless with some cadet that he thoroughly creeped out when he hugged her for the photo

Me: "hey Sid, what type of Migs are those?"

Sid, in his dryest tone: "those are Yaks"

I16. Never seen one before

Sexy Beast: (no, not you Painless)

will post more...

[GreyKnight]

Great pix! The I-16 looks a lot bigger than I thought it would.

[Painless]

Hey Kelly,

Very nice pics M8. They made me feel like I was there ! LOL

BTW , that picture of your face you sneaked onto my computer as a desk top ....Lennox growls at it and the boys won't come into the room when the computers on! LMAO

Settled back into routine yet M8 ?

Cheers, Mick.

[B16Enk]

Flattering shot of me there Kelly

I16, that flew over as I was pulling up at the pub on my way home from work, to meet you guys.
