Super Guppy Restoration

[Xplumberlives]

Have had an email from one of the ground crew on the NASA guppy, he thinks the rudder has passed and gotten stuck on the gust lock pin. He's told me how to disengage them, hopefully that should free it. If not, it means another trip in the cherry picker to, and I quote, "free the rudder linkage by unbolting the control rod located on the right side half way up the vertical"


Might send Dickon up there again!

I BET you don't!

It didn't

Can't get the cherry picker to it at the minute, the ground is too soft back there. It will have to wait

Fingers Crossed!

Maybe if someone buys one or more of the complete
aircraft for scrap, then you might get the req'd. engines
on the Cheap!

Would be nice if they were suitable for Taxi Duty!

Oh, and I'm happy you finally got in touch with the NASA
people. I must have E-mailed them eight or ten times!

Does Mackrick know anything about these?

Danf.

I assume these were the ones that Mackrick was talking about, some time ago. I've written an email asking to be kept informed of where they end up, or even, if they don't sell them at all.

Turned out, the head engineer of the Nasa guppy was following us on Facebook for quite a while. He contacted me in the end

[Dan4th]

So, maybe I at least called you to
his attention!

Maybe not, but I certainly HOPE so......

Do you remember this?.....





Well, thanks to the good people at JSC, Matt, myself and a forklift:



Neutraled and locked off! It's been a long time coming, but, I'm glad to get this job done!


Other than that I brought 4 cans of paint back to life with some turps and elbow grease and helped the CWJ boys with some interior design on the new hut.

Just been Skype-ing with two guys from Nasa (I'm such a name dropper ) and they have told me how to get the main cargo door to marry up properly. It involves re-introducing the sand, but, aft of the split line. Probably both upstairs and down.

Once the noseleg gets sorted..............................

Is that the famous CHRIS BARRIE cargo door?

Hi everybody , remember me?

Gaz asked me to update the wish list on the guppy website last week but I haven't been able to upload to this or 3 other sites. Pleased to say I've finally sorted the problem (I know how but don't understand why! ) and the list is now updated - Gaz awaits your donations folks!
