Cheer up video from Eric
So if you are in the UK it is raining and miserable. Eric Goujon sent this link to cheer us all up and remind us it isn’t that long until July 🙂
February 9th update
Looking around the hangar and the winter maintenance continues, if you think you might like to volunteer with the Fighter Collection we will have an announcement of interest soon:
Volunteers cleaning Sea Fury parts
Wildcat Engine
Gladiator Engine
Sea Fury
Spitfire Mk 1
Last week of January 2014
As the first month of 2014 comes to an end work continues around the hangar. Since last week the Wildcat has come into the maintenance area.
While the Corsair and Hellcat await parts before undergoing engine runs.
The Spitfire mk XIV is well into the winter servicing programme.
TFC Volunteers
We’ve been following the engineers work during the last week. Today it is the turn of the volunteers.
So first thing a meeting to decide on a plan of action in a rather chilly hangar as the heating was on strike:
Next off to clean the Hellcat
and Spitfire which had been covered with dust during the floor repairs earlier this week.
More Hellcat progress
More news on the installation of the new Carburettor.
The pipework is all fitted. The induction trunking is now on, just waiting for some hoses then comes the attachment of the lower trunking then it’s ground runs 🙂
Hellcat Progress
A busy day at Hangar 2. With the removal of the old Carburettor previously
and the arrival of the new carb back from the ‘states
work will start later this week on fitting the replacement.
Comparison view for carb fans:
