thanks for posting those Rich... hoping all goes smoothly.

Joe

by the way ,
what was the process of removing the paint ? chemical or the 3m paint removal flap wheels/disk... or what?

[Prop Jockey]

Hi Joe,

These guys use a chemical technique - the exception being the control surfaces that are fabric covered - they just have to be re-covered and painted from scratch.

Looks like a giant Airfix kit. Maybe you should give James May a call

Seriously though very interesting, thanks for the photos.
Hope it all goes to plan.

Lovely shots Rich, even looking at those I bet you are just wishing the time away to get back inside the old girl.
