Hi George, do tell, I'm intrigued... :think:

Thats an impressive PC specs list Rick, I would guess it is not cheap but the figures sound great, I have the 8600GT card but have been looking at the 8600GTS now the prices are dropping...
btw the dove and 748 are superb models whoever built em

Hi Tony

I must start by thanking derek for his excellent Dove(God I feel such a pratt) so thank you Derek and well done indeed .
Leif has asked me to say a few words on the a/c that i have worked on over the years,thank you Leif Mate!
I joined AWA at Baginton in 1959/60 so I was involved in the production of the Argosy and later the refurbishment of the same.I was also responsible for the manufacture of the Avro 748 tailplane and fin main spars.After the closure of Baginton I transfered to Bitteswell where we carried out Major refurbishment projects including Vulcan,hunter,shackleton,Red arrow team Gnat and Hawks indeed I was involved with the original conversion of std Hawks into Arrows(fitting of dye tanks etc).Other projects included Harrier, Buccaneer,Phantom(outer wings) Victor Bomber Cockpit (I never saw a whole one)it was the section from the plenum chamber forward.I could carry on but I think I've bored you enough as it is.anyway there it is.You can perhaps see why I like old british iron,I owe it a lot.

George

I could carry on but I think I've bored you enough

Somehow I doubt that very much I think if you were to fill a whole book everyone here would be in awe of the stories you could tell

Hi George

I'm with Tony on this......you can't bore us ........but you are more than welcome to try

An impressive list of projects you have worked on

Nice to se you over here

Garry

Indeedie.. we're so boring ourselves, it's impossible for us to get bored

Don't suppose you remember a Paul Essex from your Baginton days. I'm sure my team leader on the Brooklands Vanguard was there at some point but I couldn't put a year to it I'm afraid :roll:

DaveB :tab:

Sorry DaveB I don't know Paul Essex,mind you it was a lifetime ago and the memory isn't what it was. :-(
