Thanks Andy and Ian

subsonic, anyway!

Ian's got some newer ones to send me so wil lahve some more on there before long. I've also got some of the duxford one in civvy markings that i took 2 weeks ago, along with plenty of other stuff, just got to find time to go through them all and build a page- it's still better that using photobucket which now seems to take ages to load, must be the volume of use unless it's all the interactive ads etc that they have on there now.

is that all you have :))

I'm not at all jealous of your job and being able to get that close!

There are some snaps of ZD241 with all the tail off......is that after a major overhaul? Would it go that deep? Or is that at the time of conversion?

However....'tanking from a tristar'.....Been there done that!! :D :D :D ;)

Tail off was from ST Athan Major servicing quite a few years ago now ...
