has anyone managed to get any pictures of this? if people are interested i will try to get some tomorrow but it is almost impossible to photograph.

Welcome aboard, Ollie. I am sure there is interest in pictures of it here.

**ollieholmes** · 10-18-2005 10:20 PM

all i know is that it flew in (i was there but sadly my camera whas elsewhere, that is a rare thing for me not to have my camera on me) and it looked pretty tatty. the engine sounded very sick. aparently they have started taking it apart for a basic overhaul and keep on finding more problems with it. the estimated flying date is 2007.

Oh man, get pictures if you can. Beg, molest, kill - just get pictures. And just kill ...even if they let you beforehand - the human population is too big as it is. Have a blast ...

i have done it. i walked around there from my college and blagged a free entry to the restoration hanger. i then managed to conince one of the mechanics to tke me to where it is kept. aparantly they wings are in essex being rebuild and they have the fuesalagae there but they are buildng a new rear end for it. i could not see the tail unit around. the engine looks in good nick. aparently it had been part restored before in america and then new zealand. they think it should be flying by 2007. well here goes here are the images:

and this is a wing of another glider they are building:

can anyone recognise the markings on the side of the fuesalage?

**evangilder** · 10-19-2005 11:42 AM

Nice. The images are a bit large, but it is pretty neat.

**Gnomey** · 10-19-2005 11:46 AM

Where are the images I can't see any

**evangilder** · 10-19-2005 12:29 PM

Give them a miinute or 2 to load

**Gnomey** · 10-19-2005 12:36 PM

Still no pictures....

**ollieholmes** · 10-19-2005 01:32 PM

refresh the page. failing that i am happy to e-mail them to you. on the size issue, i feel big is better, people can then resize then if they wish.

**evangilder** · 10-19-2005 01:40 PM

Yes, they can resize them on their own, but not within the postings. I prefer to be able to see the whole image without having to scroll all over to see the whole image. Plus, it's good netiquette to make them viewable without scrolling. That also makes the text easier to read without scrolling.

**Gnomey** · 10-19-2005 02:02 PM

I can't see them in either Firefox or IE. Can't understand why though? I can't seem to see any image that Ollie posts

**ollieholmes** · 10-19-2005 02:09 PM

i am happy for people to save them off here for personal use. i have yet to work out how to change the sizes. i use photoshop and someone said you can adjust the size through the link in the text.
i am also happy to e-mail people pictures if they ask me.

**Gnomey** · 10-19-2005 02:20 PM

Could you put them in an album?

Here is one if you want: http://www.photobucket.com
