thanks Mackrick

looked like it was miserable weather there today - and airfields have a habit of being at least 10° colder than anywhere else on the planet!

Back to the day job tomorrow Steve so it maybe a while before anymore photos .... on the other hand.......

[Mags]

Great pics

Hope it's not too much of a drag going back to the day job!

[Nickolas]

I presume that the day job allows him to be in a hangar.

[Gully]

Thanks Mackrick!

What was actually going on? Looks like prep for the port leg work?

[Saracenman]

day job? you mean same camera, same feet, different a/c?

[IanM]

Thanks Mackrick!

Looks that way, there does seem to be a distinct lack of anything door-like in this picture...



...and it appears to be on someone's foot in another

Not wishing to nick any information for Smilers Engineering update just a few bits for you,

A start was made on inhibiting the engines, draining the fuel from them so that inhibiting oil can be pumped into the engine fuel system.

A start on preparing the port main leg for removal.

[Gully]

Thanks Mackrick. Just had a Twitter to confirm port leg is off!

I wonder if there is a record for making a pair of steel toe capped boots last?

[Iggie]

Thanks Mackrick. Just had a Twitter to confirm port leg is off!

Gully

Whose? Mackricks?
Still, that should improve the view in his photo's......

[Xplumberlives]

One steel toe capped shoe for sale!

[Mackrick]

Ok well I can confirm that she went into the hangar about 1200 today, was on Jacks by 1330 and the leg was off by 1600. A fantastic job by the lads to say the least. Still a few jobs to do by the end of the week.

My stunt double was on hand today with his camera to capture a few of the moments so hopefully Mike will post them later if not as soon as I get them they will appear on here.
