Do you not remember how she disgraced herself recently?

Well, she DID go on a bit of a TOOT, but
at least it wasn't a full-fledged BENDER!

The Iskra looked great - is it the same team sorting Teasing Tina?

Hangar looks bigger than I remember. I take B&Q no longer rent the other half and the partition has gone.

And looking at the Sywell pics, I love G-SIXT (no idea what it is!) with BEA livery on the starboard side and BOAC to port!

You are quite correct, as of last Tuesday when I was in the Hangar, she was still only rubbed down, no evidence of the painting having been started!

Is the 'Teasin' Tina' art work being repainted too? Should imagine that could be quite tricky, but will stand out like a sore thumb if it's not done...

Tina is being returned as near as possible to her Gulf War colours including art work, separate team to the Iskra (John Nuttall, as lead with a number of the volunteers who work for the Vulcan... and me) although the spraying will probably be the same person..... Matt Walton..... son of David.

Last i heard on Wednesday, the paint was due so work may have started already..

If Time allows..... Canopus next..
