ENGINEERING
Vampire Restoration
One of the restorations that is keeping our engineers busy is the Vampire. Parts of the Goblin engine are currently being painted, the fuel nozzles are in Belgium being flowed, the burner cans are in the UK being overhauled, and we are manufacturing the flexible engine hoses. In terms of assembling the aircraft, the wheels, rudders and elevators are back on and connected, and the tail plane extensions have been fitted. No return to service date, but everything is looking very positive.
Canberra Bomber Restoration
We know that our fans are keen to hear about the Canberra, so you will be glad to know that the engines are en route from the UK, and scheduled to arrive early- mid Feb. The start system battery box (for the carriage of the 5 batteries that are required to start the engines) is currently being worked on, which is very positive news. No return to service date yet, but we will be sure to keep you posted.
