Winter Activities

[Gate Master]

Now the flying season has closed for the winter we need to think about what we can do over the dark winter months.....quiz, caption competitions, guess the date and time of the post winter maintenance flight in 2007, even best picture of ML407 in 2006 (amateur and profesional will have to be in separate categories)
Suggestions any one ?  (and keep it clean !)

Steve and Richard are excused as I am sure they have lots to do in the technical department.

What, why, what do you mean excused, what are we doing, technical department. This looks a bit serious.

Oh I just thought you were the top line in the nuts and bolts department and the 200 hour check would keep you two busy along with the Cassutts.

If you want some help then there are a few of us out here that know not to hold the pointed end of the screwdriver !!! and make copious quantities of tea and coffee.

Looks like Stevie's going to be busy   

The spits position is near the hangar door's right, so maybe you lot can play move around play with the other aircraft and put her in a position where she can be seen 

maybe an interior comp. or late time picture's or even one's in the hangar comp.or even best crew picture

Hi all;

Maybe we could arrange an online auction or a sealed bid type auction on some worn out parts from ML407? A picture and description could be placed on the board and bids in by a certain time? They could be emailled into a neutral person so as not to offend our friends on here?

Perhaps a certificate of authenticity could be knocked off saying the part came from ML407?

We could always hold another plastic ML407 model building contest again?

Just my 2 cents or 6 pence's worth.

Cheers,

No sooner is the Spinner re united with ML407, and Stevie K is pulling her apart! Took Richard and Steve all of around ten minutes to get the seats out, and the airframe up on jacks! I won?t repeat what Carolyn said, when she arrived at the hanger, having just flown half an hour before hand.







I also took the opportunity to get a shot of G-BOMB (Cassutt 3), which is looking rather nice!

[Gate Master]

Darren,
Nice shots..I see G-BOMB has the wings attached as Richard finally got the "bolts" he needed.
These technical chappies don't hang around do they.......
I will attempt a visit at some point before Christmas probably just to make the tea.

Andy
