Strewth...2 and a bit years since my last update...that's nowhere near good enough !. I do apologize also as since losing my photobucket account (not paying 'em !), all the pics of my build have disappeared as well. So, where am I now ?. Since my last message, my '51 has been to loads of displays ar...

Bl**dy h*ll mate, that looks epic !

Hi Ed One word mate...quitesimplybl**dyamazingandbeyondawesome ! :-) Can you advise on how you have done the lettering please. I used Lettraset which involves applying each letter separately...and its a nightmare !. I'm assuming you've used a PC programme to do the lettering but what did you print i...

And GeeDee, is that stateside warbirds will you be over the Pond for Oshkosh too? Lewis Hi Lewis Unfortunately not. I haven't been to Osh since 2005. I keep meaning to get back but the pull of the Warbirds is too great. I'm flying out next Thursday to the West coast this time ... LA to SF and then ...

That is a work of art mate !. I've not worked on mine for over a year now !.

However, I do have serious intention of getting back in the groove when I return from another stint on the Warbirds in Jun !

Jeez dude, your rank should be changed from 'Airman First Class to 'Fifty One Fabricator First Class' ! I'll be 'borrowing' some of your ideas as I really need to get to grips with my 'Babe over the next few months...read major interior rebuild. I really must update my thread as you're putting me to...

Ed This just 'Plane' rocks mate. She's a work of art Bud. Are you planning on painting her when at a suitable stage or are you going to simply varnish her ?. A varnished finish on that woodwork would look bl**dy awesome ! I'm hoping to get some work completed on mine but am soo busy at the moment, i...

Mate, that looks stunning. I'll be copying some of your ideas to make the trim console controls for my Babe...just hope I can at least match the end results as I haven't worked with wood before, so it'll be a an interesting learning curve (again ! ) Keep the updates coming ! I have my first official...

That is looking seriously cool !

Looks like you're off to a great start Ed, she's looking good! I've had no end of computer issues and a few domestic things to sort out so haven't updated my build thread for....quite a long time :-( If you get stuck on something, drop me a message and I'll see what I can do to help out. Here's a fe...

W!tchcraft is a Babe' !. I'm just back from being on tour with the Foundation. I was flight engineer in her while out there...amongst other things

Apologies for the delay in the updates chaps, been busy workwise and have had a few problems with the home IT. After sorting out the seat into something that resembles a '51 seat, I turned my attention to the upper bodywork in front of and around the windshield area. The first part was quite easy to...

It was great meeting Gary 'geedee' at the memorial event this past weekend at Leiston. So very rare that we get such a beautiful day for a bank holiday weekend so it was great fun in the sun and a good day to be at such a moving event. Although there where technical hitches preventing the PC from w...

Some of you may be aware that we have an annual airshow called Flying Legends held at Duxford each year in July. The main rule is that there are no jets !. this normally means wall to wall Warbirds with the odd 'civvie' thrown in. Check out this video of the 2008 airshow on youtube. Its from the ann...
