I found a couple more of my T-bolt so I thought I'd share them with you.

These are a good indication of the size of the Meister Bolt as I am 6'2.....

This model is now in it's 5th season but I believe there are another 4 or 5 being built in the UK for the show circuit so I hope to get some company this year.

Ken Bones is my usual wing man who owns the Corsair pictured landing.

Dear Gregg
That Thunderbolt of yours is huge, no wonder it looks so impressive in the air.
The picture of ken's Corsair landing, was taken last year at our Bob at Colt.
ken and his mate Steve came down for the day, both good fliers and very nice people.

Regards Phil G.

PS They both have agreed to come down for our May the first weekend do,
and hopefully the Bob in September.

Phil

Steve was the original builder of my thunderbolt. However I pretty much reduced it to kit form and re-built it when I goty it. I just wanted it more scale like like. Steve only did it originally for club flying.

Ken and I have flown together for years. The Corsair and T-bolt are very evenly matched. You must have seen them both together at a show somewhere in the last 4 years?

Dear Gregg
I am pretty sure I have seen you and ken at Rougham and up at Barkston Heath plus other places.
Here is a nice pic of kens Corsair in flight with plenty of bank on and Ali's Spit in the foreground
I think it is the one he is now putting a wren turbo prop in.

For me not to be on his wing it must have been the slot straight after the B-52 went in. Gordon was on my number so I couldn't get the peg. Ken and I were supposed to do our double act routine!!!

Yeah looks like the Spit Ali's doing with a wren. Can't wait to see that!

Dear Gregg
I did not go to Barkston last year, so it might have been a year or two a go.

In that case where was that shot taken??

It looks like Barkston but you say you weren't there.

Ken's corsair has only had one season. He did have another one a few years ago but that one was all dark blue.

So thats either,

a - Not Ken
or
b - Not Barkston

Phil,

Thanks for the prices, Is that per side or is that each individual stack ? When I say individual I mean the MkI would have a total of 6 and the later a total of 12.

Mike

Two of my Hangar. The P40 is a VQ and I only recently discovered that the markings, which I already knew to be 112 Sqdn, western Desert, was also the personal aircarft of Neville Duke, of Hawkwer Hunter fame. The retracts are Robary 615's ( I know all about the complaints, but these have been fine) Robart struts and wheels. Power Magnum 91FS. The (Late) Hurricane is the KMP, usual 17 Sqdn markings, Robart 550 retracts, 7/16 struts and 4" wheels, power by YS 120.

Hey Bbuss like that VQ P40 looks very nice how is the performance of this model and quality of VQ
I am looking to get VQ or the new H9 P40 just released

Dear All
I know this is way off track.
I received the flight sim IL Stormovik the fogotten Battles. for Christmas.
It looks really good but I can't get it to run, I have a fairly high spec machine
latest drivers etc and it still does not work.

I have Combat Flight sim 3 it runs perfectly.
I must admit I like the first Combat Flight sim the best.
Can any body help please.

Regards Phil G.
