:ok:

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'!

Is t' baron able to sell this export version overseas without DoT restrictions...or are there strings attached....?!

:E

I/C

?
 

But which one will be in servie first?!

Why's it in formation with Thunderbird 2....? :}

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

Hang on, one of those is a work of fiction that'll never fly... oh bit late with that joke.

Rumour has it that the MR4 doesn't fit in Sprayavia's hangar...oops...:uhoh:

Looks like an over glorified C-17 to me!

Any idea where this rumour has come from?

Read somewhere it was first said on a spotter's mailing list.

Sorry to spoil the impending fun, but the spotters got it wrong :ok:

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.:uhoh:

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

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 :ok:

The Claw,

Aren't the hangars at Norwich the same sort as those at Kinloss?????????????????????

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.

Charlie,
when are you over and if so will you be up our way?
