Spent today pulling apart more of P7350's Merlin. Took out the camshafts, manifold, flame traps and ignition harness. She's looking a bit forlorn now, no panels, no cockpit seat, no undercarriage, big chunks of the engine gone and sat up on trestles. The fuel tank will be coming out in the next week or so as well. The Lanc has three of her props off, iirc she'll be getting two new engines and LF has no prop either. The two MkXIX Spits have had their wing tanks removed. In fact, in a complete reversal of the usual situation TE311 is the only fighter in one piece [X(]

Somewhere during the process I managed to rip some chunks out of my hands [:(] Including one nice cut on my finger that just reopens whenever I move it. Bugger.

NC Thread Brothers Summit was a great time last night! Even though it was a weeknight and some of us have to work so it was too short, it was great to catch up with Andy after several years and for him and Torsten to get a chance to meet.

Sounds like you guys had fun. I hope you behaved yourselves and didn't harass the waitress too much. [;)]

How dare you!?! There's no rust on any of our kites. There is a lot of dirty oil though, but mineral oil doesn't seem to cause the same reaction that the synthetic stuff we use on jets does.

I'm sorry that I just could not get away for it. But I'm working up a east coast trip before Torsten leaves the USA. [:)]
