    Default May 8 visit.

    Not much change since last visit.
    I think the next big job is to join it all up then get it on its undercarriage.

    NO :- but I will try to find out.

    It could be one of the practice escape planes for cabin crew that most airports seem to have these days.

    Dont like going to JL very often as I was pulled a few years ago. Playing amateur radio at the end of the runway, Dungeon Lane end (WAB, special event station). Airport security and local Bobbies took umbridge to it
    Told them I was in Cheshire and not Merseyside as per Ord Survey map.

    Plane of two halves becomes one again - IT WAS a plane of two halves, but is now one, as Europe’s most significant aviation heritage project literally comes together in Liverpool. more

    Destined to become an outstanding visitor attraction, there is no equivalent heritage project like this in Europe involving such an historic aviation-linked building and aircraft.

    Kev

    I was there yesterday and if it is now all one again they must have worked all b****y night.
    It was still in two bits, but yes the front has been attached to the 'mid section'. The under carriage is not on yet.
    I am informed that the back end will not be attached till after the 24 June.
    Have a look at my last post:- the one above yours (pic 4 is the best).
    I will keep you informed of progress when I can.

    Phredd

    PS:- just put pic number 4 on here.

    These pics has been posted on another thread, but to keep this one up to date I will (if I may) post them here as well. >>>>>>

    The under carriage should be on by the end of July (26/29th I think).
    It has had it's name put on since my last visit yesterday.

    Had a trip to the old airport to-day.

    No undercarriage on yet. I think the weather has played its part.
