I mentioned MOTAT not long ago on Ians art site , and i remembered a few shots i took there last month ......

As you can see , they have (since i last saw it ) installed a new viewing area in the aircraft hall (upper right in the photo)



Look at the size of those Solent engines ...



And the bow end is pretty impressive as well ....

Oh Dear - what the truk is that?

It appears Marty has an affinity with truks!
Who would have guessed....?

We should kidnap Ian and drag him up there.....

Take him up on an Arbust! He likes them as much as SP likes truks

ITS A CONSPIRACY IT IS , THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT ... IT A COMPLETE CONSPIRACY ...

...yep.

LOL .. nice collection

I'll get back at you, you Bar Stools !

Honestly, I don't think I'd be brave enough to fly in one, but you can't help loving that cute little face -- I might make a plywood Airtruk for the grandkids.

Speaking of Ian, I thought of him today when I read the news item about the 'Boeing A380'. I'm sure that would give him a hernia just thinking about it.

And also speaking of news, I've officially given up Stuff five minutes ago, when I read two headlines:
Man cuts off own ears to look more like his parrots;
Shooting at Zombie festival in the US...

A plywoody model .. don't forget the gimmicks .. rolling wheels , moving flaps , opening doors , when tilted the flight controls will move and well sorted good looking cockpit were the grandkids can put their GI Joe figures in ..... that's what the kids today want !

I have left engineering years back and don't use Hernia's anymore ...

When I was last there a few years ago, I burst out laughing when I turned around and saw the Airtruk in all its glory
