Rich W Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hi all, I'm Richard Woods, from Chesterfield, Derbyshire. I've often wandered around your forum and found myself at the variety of different military vehicles, and the information you have on here. I'm an enthusiast, never an owner yet(though I do keep looking at Stalwarts rather jealously..) About 18 months or so I decided to get involved in something ex-military, so with me being a bit of an aircraft nut I volunteered with a group rebuilding a 1954 Avro Shackleton MR2 at Coventry airport. Very shortly after I was deep into it and wading through tons of manuals for it, wielding my spanners, helping to bring it back to life. If you're interested I'll start a topic on the beastie and start getting some pictures up. Kind Regards, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich W Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Well this is where we've got to so far: But I'll save the rest for starting a topic in the Aviation section. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich W Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hi all, 963 is part of 'Airbase' at Coventry airport, she shares with DC3's, DC6's, Canberra's and loads of other 1950's aircraft. It's open to the public from Easter (been closed for the winter) but if you get all eager and can't wait that long let me know and you can visit the Shackleton in the meantime. We're there every Saturday. I've started a thread over in the Aviation section, and I'll keep updating it for the next few days to bring it up to present day. Regards, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
