JensenPark Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JensenPark Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 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.

JensenPark Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
