Hairyplane,

That'd be very kind of you, and greatly appreciated sir.

I am indeed one of Tim's volunteers; in fact, now the only one, as the other chap has decided to emigrate to France. Tim and I did ask him whether he'd be commuting back of a Wednesday evning, but reluctantly he declined...

As for the old girl herself, she's a big job, as I'm sure you've seen. Her nose thankfully is on a stand which is frequently being shunted around the hangar to accommodate all sorts of wonderful old aeroplanes. I seem to recall both the Maggie and your Falcon being in from time to time, along with such diverse items as a Mosquito fuselage and a Russian spacecraft. Honestly, I must lose a good hour of productivity every Wednesday night just looking to see what gem's Tim's turned up this week.

Talking of the hangar, a quick TV heads up for UK viewers for tonight - Channel 4, 2100hrs, Leonardo's Dream Machines. Tim's chaps build Leonardo's glider. Watch out for the dog chews.
