Brooklands Aircraft Movement!

Re: Brooklands Aircraft Movement!
Nice to see '575 being moved out into the open. I cannot remember exactly what the inside looked like, I seem to remember that it wasn't complete. Then again, that was a long time ago, I'm sure they've done some work on her since!
Due to shortages and cutbacks the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off.

Re: Brooklands Aircraft Movement!
Looks like you guys did some manual labour there! Looking good!
Just don't try the same on the LH flaps, you're in for trouble there :o

Is it just me or do they look cleaner these days? ;-)

Not the RH side mate.. that's the side nearest the trees. A cunning plan to make it invisible to the Google Earth satellites

Re: Brooklands Aircraft Movement!
While I remember.. this is how 575 ended up..

The entire weight of the nose section is resting nicely on it's external pwr line.. :doho: .. so the team have to sort that out and someones measuring wasn't up to scratch so the rear is resting on sleepers and not the purpose built support but otherwise, this is her new home ;-)

Everytime I see that nose section I want it
It's so beautifully proportioned and would fit nicely behind my garage
cheers

Hi Fraser
Is 'OHL still on offer??
Looked a bit tatty last time I saw a pic and I guess it's a shell but you could always buy Mrs Cornbank a new mop, duster and Hoover
