On the aircraft , since some are heading off to museums , would have be nice to have them painted in the historical livery's rather the well known Grey pot.

Those little things we don't pick up from the distance and this would have been a brill photo from a observation deck .

I think the P-40 has flown the coup .. X5 'image'

:bow: I missed this ..... most excellent work , thanks for posting :thumbup:

True but they may be like Eagle and keep at least 1 spare until it's done its last flight then get rid of them once that flight has been done. They won't leave immediately .. they will sit a Christchurch engineering base , doubt if they will swap them for ARBUST - because off the celeb status of the flight being the final .

Ah that would probably be what was just showing on on FR24 as 'B738'. Parked up at ChCh right now is the 747, wearing the same clothes Haven't seen the 74 yet ... the boys got a brief glimpse today (but no photo sorry) They report it is very similar , but with a red cheat line ... not blue like the 737. Im out there in the morning , so I'll try and get a pic if its still here.

I recall one saying to me ..."Ole Smokey" then the same was said about .. well "Dirty Ole Herc" .. with a smile i just looked .

Dan , they had Goblin in the museum cut open, I should query where it was placed, It had a handle connected to the starter gearing , you could whined it over and show and explain how the engine works , maybe they are planning to place a geared electric motor , I'll have to ask .. this was going ten years back.

I would say look at the height off the crane rig and probably a very good guess used to sling all sorts off engines, onto DC-3 for a starter maybe the Bristol Freighter as years went by it sat in the back in one off the old maintenance sheds collecting dust , maybe its the rebuild of Christchurch Airport recent and the current changes someone was wise enough to gift it to Wigram. I did say next time they have an open day they should bring it out just to see it operation . It is amazing checking out the tracks on it , simple flat plate steel and causes no damage at all to the tarmac or...

Man since I have been of work I have put on 15kg sure shows in that video lol :D Could not even recognise ya .. I need your diet pick up :) ..... Bloody wicked piece of modelling B-)

Almost missed this ... those wing shots are just amazing :thumbup:

Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrlllllllllllllllllllllllllll! :clap: I love those videos, I have a friend named Carl so whenever I see him he gets it.

Nah coz then all you'll end up with is a parade down Ponsonby Road Hmm...that road wouldn't be named after old Colonel Ponsonby, who was drummed out of the regiment?

sometimes if Singapore runs late it becomes 4

Frighteningly quick!
