Sorry, off to work soon, will post more soon! :p

Right ho;

XX885 now has serviceable rocket packs for her ejection seats, these have been subjected to NDT (Xray). She now requires safety equipment for the seats.

She is very much a going concern and her engines will be run this week as part of her anti-det servicing.

The operators stress that with the current economic climate, earning payed work must come first!

Dave ;)

The Navy Bucc round our way is looking fabulous at the minute.

They get a bit closer every week!

Does anyone know where to get good quality blueprints for the Bucc??
I want to do this in 3D

I've tried the obvious ones like Blueprints dot com but is there anywhere else..

BTW keep up the good work.

Sorry Joey can't help - when I did the home page for this forum I wanted some sort of blue print to use as a background but couldn't find what I wanted.... :(
