Welcome Everyone

Hi To All and happy New Years,

Well after allot of thought I have decide to open a new forum dedicated to just Warbirds. In here you talk all about Warbirds from restoration to recover's and photo ect. ect.

The only thing I will not allow is Politics if you start your gone end of subject don't like it oh well go someplace else.

Does being one of the first 20 sign-ons make me a "Foundation Member", and if so, does that mean I can make condescending remarks about innocent posts by newer members?

JUST KIDDING

Anyway glad to be here and thanks for the oppurtunity.

Hi.

I am into restoration, I put one day a week ay the local aviation museum at Dumfries (S/W scotland) I have restored the cockpits of a Canberra T4 and a T22 (ex India) A Dassault Mystere. (a Frog) A BAC Jetstream. At present am restoring the cockpit of a Jet Provost IV. We also have a Fairey Gannet, which till we got our hands on was Gate Guardian at HMS Gannet at Prestwick. While it was in its last days there, the gust locks failed, the rudder was torn off and cart wheeled a mile and a half accross the airfield. A remade main spar and two three new ribs (not counting a thousand or so rivets, its as good as new.

G`day to all of the "madhouse inmates" from Wollongong Australia. I`m a retired colliery fitter, since i`ve finished work I`ve been putting in two or three days a week at our closest aviation museum which is HARS at Albion Park.
Lately I`ve been assisting on our PBY6A "black cat",returning it to original configuration.
