Mackrick, I believe you have pinched the idea for photos 4 & 5 from someone else.

Thanks very much for your help this year.

Love the "imposter" pic :))

Went down to look at the Air brake access panel and just took the photos on the way out. Didn't know they had been done before.
will see you next week

Thanks to the Engineers for putting up with me on Saturday and letting me play. Thanks to Rick for introducing me and superb pics from Sunday. Sad to see the display season come to an end. Look forward to next season. What a pleasure it has been to see 558 fly at all the shows I have been to. Great to meet up with "old" friends Ray. Still get the buzz when she flies. Oh yes! there is a silica gel oven in the engine bay. I will show you on Wednesday afternoon.

I can only reiterate the congratulations and thanks given already to the engineering team - just a superb season with outstanding servicability. Well done guys & girl!! :ymapplause:

Big thanks to the aircrew too!

Now, off to work at raising funds to keep you all employed so 2010 can see me trying to top my 2009 season totals of seeing 18 flights, including 10 full displays and 4 mini displays!

Hi Rick,

Thought you might remember the original since you had only been looking at it 10 minutes before you went down the intake.

You did say at the time you really liked the picture, I suppose imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Congratulations, Za150, on your Very

Many thanks to the following unsung heros the Ground Crew who have made me welcome throughout the display season. I have learnt a great deal about 558 and it is something that I feel honoured to be involved with.

Taff, John, Mouse, Ray, Sam, Brownie, Pat, Del and JJ thanks guys and not forgetting Toni

And thanks to you Rick and Chris, Kev, Ken and all the others who made the season so good for the groundcrew and made my return to the team after so long an absence a real pleasure too :ymapplause:

ducts and looks at some of our Favo(u)rite
People, too!

What's that? Oh. Quarter past two.

Yep. The boys were very good to me and let me wear one of their posh sets so that I could listen in on the crew too. :ymapplause:

Edit.

A sedate take off.

by **Dan4th** » Mon Oct 05, 2009 6:35 pm

Sedate, perhaps, but I notice they're getting
that gear stowed quicker all the time!

Thanks again, Smitty!
