Hiya,
we have been working on the jet prov for about 2 years now. it belongs to my good mate Paul Flynn and i am part of the restoration crew. we have seen that pic before thanks, Paul found it whilst browsing for info on her some time ago. the first pic on Ritz link was taken at North Luffenham (not my copyright btw though the others are but the good folks here are open to use them as they wish (though please give credit where due). i have spent the day today working on the prov and we have been rigging the tailplane/elevators and fin/rudder controls, my project (which i have mentioned in my first post here) is Auster AOP VI VF519 G-ASYN, she if far from completion as i have not long since purchased her and am at the parts and info gathering stage. well, i'd better stop rambling as i can talk aircraft all day if you let me. if anyone wants more info on these two projects then please feel free to e-mail me.
