Rick, I'll save you the trouble of stealing a Cherry picker.

Image

Mind you this one is better (though not strictly from on top of the fin)

Image

Iggy here's one of the bomb bay with the doors closed.

As you can see Rick is hard at it while Chris just lounges around taking photos!
This was during the replacement of the elevon feel unit ( where to quote some we just lounged around and took the money)

Was wondering how Rick would get round that one :)) ,forgot about the restoration ones :p

That has to be from the top of the hanger I guess would make a good book or magazine cover pic.

Not from restoration HH, I took it while I was cleaning the fin during the winter service.

Tother one was at RIAT, but since Damien was in the cage with me I suspect his version will be much better. ;)

For those who don't visit the other side here are some more of mine.

Hat rack reflection.

Lyneham Sunset.

Dutch formation.

Bed time at RIAT.

Loads more where those come from.

Sam thanks for saving me from borrowing a highlift (I had worked out how to arrange it though)

The shot from RIAT you forgot to mention the white knuckles hanging on to the basket :ymdevil:

The elevon unit change was interesting to say the least (you forgot to mention how warm it was in the bomb bay), and contrary to rumour everyone helped out on the job it was a full team effort.

I like the Lyneham sunset , and you just had to get the Dutch formation in didn't you !

Am still waiting for some of the shots you have taken of me to appear ;)
