Today I was working at Finningley the home of this

Just after 3pm it it went into the sky.

The first thing you notice is the noise. It makes more noise just
taxiing down the runway than a commercial jet makes on lift off!

It then flew towards the house (the floor vibrated) and blew the fumes
from it's exhaust into the house as it made it's turn. It smelt like a
an old petrol engine with a manual choke that was too far out.

Awesome - but totally OT.

It's been at Welshpool airshow today.


I know, and it landed back in Doncaster at around 16:57.


An awesome project. To restore a complex 4 engined military aircraft that
uses obsolete electrics, etc and to get it approved by the CIVIL Aviation
Authorities is hell of an achievement. The fund raising has been done
imaginatively and professionally.
