Dont think FTB would withstand curing temperatures for the redux process.... think he might go nicely with some bacon, onion and tomatoes and seasoning served on pasta though.

:-?

The redux adhesive is called Thiokol IIRC.

I think you meant to say "Heavy use of rivets went out with the Shack"

de Havilland were the pioneers of redux bonding, the first aircraft to extensively use it being the Dove. I'm not sure about the Comet but certainly the Trident and 146 both used it. No idea about the Fokker.

There are some rivets and in the photos I have of construction, you can clearly see a lot of rivets in the nose section and the book describes further rivetting around the "keel" area. The rest of the construction uses stringers redux bonded to the skin. It goes on to say that BAe estimate...

Sorry to point this out but the 146 uses redux bonding

Has anyone got a GA drawing of the Vickers VC11? The BAC 1-11 was actually descended from Hunting H107 project (for those of you to whom thats not "coals to Newcastle" ).

17" Iiyama flat screen, vey stylish but boots up slamon pink everytime until i quickly pull the power cable out and stuff it in. Started doing that (full time) right after the guarantee expired :roll:

just a minor point buy I have a feeling its an A380-800 - not sure what happend to the "other" variants? :-?
