This post appeared in the Flypast forum under a similar themed thread, so apologies for those who have seen it all before, i was going to post some pics but didnt have any access to mine on this pc so thought I would experiment by grabbing the pic from the Flypast posting.

so if the pic doesnt post you will know I am still learning how to drive the Img* function on this site.

the pic and post is viewable on the flypast site at:

Myself (the young long haired, skinny one at the back) and a friend after acquiring my CAC Wackett Trainer fuselage many years ago.

(Formerly VH-AGP/A3-167)

The Wackett is currently bare bones in mjy workshop about to commence its full restoration, where-as I am not "bare bones" and am badly in need of full restoration.

If this forum and the internet remains in service long enough I would hope to post an update picture of us both where the Wackett is fully restored to original condition and so am I!

(my friend has'nt changed a bit, as all good friends do)

regards

For almost the past 10 years my father, brother and I have been
working part time to restore one FN16 (Whitley) and three FN121 (Lancaster) turrets.

Just our little connection to aviation history.

so where are you hiding your wackett Mark as that is about the only detail you've left out?

and no I would never dream of sneaking in there and flying off with it even if I had the pilot's licence to do that.
