Just out of interest, the first MR4A went into Norwich earlier for a paint job....... at Sprayavia. So, hopefully it will come out in 'grey'!

This one HAS to go into the Caption Competition thread - Ian C's comment rates a star or 2 on the chucklemeter!

I have it on good authority that the modified aircraft shown in the final UK design, the need for extra fuselage space being noticed when rations were loaded for a 15 hour CT.

I know of a used to be young Co-pilot, who flew with us, who had the walk for the export version. Though he never learnt that you need speed to clear a burning piano. Sorry just realised how many co-pilots you must have flown with over the ages.

Fill us in on how it is all going as these prop things are shaking this not so old fella to bits .

Sorry mate, but you are wrong! Parts of the wing tips and tail have been removed. Aircraft still in hangar, go and see for yourself

I feel robbed as they wouldn't let me grow a goatie to go with my singlet and footy shorts, so I saw no point in the holden V8 26 ltr ute .
Looks like I'll be coming out your way at the end of the year once it firms up will let you know.

According to someone at Norwich today, the MR4A has now been towed back out the hangar sporting a nice 'grey' coat but the tail is still 'off' so will be re-attached probably today or tomorrow.
