+ 1 technam prob italian

Yippee! Nice to see us in a log. G-BALF! The Italian was I-9281, from memory. Sticks in the mind from radio calls whilst flying. Think the reg was under the wing.

Graham

[bobbystreet56]

thanks for that graham i have a pic of the italian but as you say it is under the wing and i would only be guessing.sorry i didn,t get a pic of you but i seem to recall i was doing a supervised trip round the hangars at the time.regards bob

[whitebear]

Not a problem, Bob. To be fair, we do not seem to attract the camera lens although it is great to get a pic or two now and again...especially if I am flying. Not many of those around as usually I am taking pics...so plenty of the missus doing her stuff.

Do you recall the Gardan Horizon being refurbed in the very furthest hangar? We were captivated by some of the work being put into it but are damned if we can remember which one it was!

Graham

[bobbystreet56]

was that the aircraft in the service hangar behind the cherokee if it was i can,t help as it had been stripped right back to bare metal
regards bob
it could be G-TIMY as it had a bad landing out this year and it was at the side of the club hangar at coventry just after but has now gone ,just a thought. i am down south for a while yet so may catch you again and get a shot

[whitebear]

That is the one. Swmbo looked at the plate but misremembered the reg. I was talking to one of the owners and got a bot sidetracked. Basically...we fluffed it!

Oh well...might be finished and flyable by October.

Graham

Morning Graham, I took a shot of BALFy at Oaksey when I called in on the 28th July. As mentioned, she was running up on the grass.

[whitebear]

Blimey! Full house of engineers there! Great candid shot, thanks Graham.

[whitebear]

Logic suggests the Horizon was BYBL...although those are not the letters noted down from the plate by Swmbo.

Morning Wilbur

Re the Stearmans (...men?) you should find that "14" is G-ISDN and "699" is G-CCXB

ISDN was hangared at Oaksey when I called in on 28th July

Thanks Graham.

Hi Graham(White Bear) and Bobby

G-TIMY was in the maintenance Hanger (on the front right as you look at the hanger) at Wellesbourne 23/07/16 . It still had its distinctive paint on then and I read the reg off.

Regards

John

here's one of Graham(White Bear) and G-BALF departing from AeroExpo 2014

[whitebear]

Ahhhh...aint she cute? So is BALFy. Thats the missus flying; I was probably screaming....

[graham]

How's her parallel parking Graham?

[whitebear]

Not bad, actually! Large walls occasionally cause a problem.......oops...better delete this quickly.

[bobbystreet56]
