The discovery bringing my lightweight home spat it's dummy out and they've both had to be recovered back to whence they came..... Usual crankshaft problems by the sound of it...

That doesn't look very covered to me!

At least it was a breakdown and nothing worse, but what a nightmare.

wow. Shocked

Work of art - credit to yourself and the team that rebuilt it!

But, I suppose you'll be buying a pair of these as not to dirty the inside with muddy boots Thumbs Up

Also, do you mind sharing the paint code? Been inspired and would like to repaint my (inferior) NATO hitch. Embarassed Stuart

Very cool! Not until re-reading the post did I realise that was taken in 1990 - again shows how well you complimented originality (and my stupidity)! Genuinely thought it was from an air show this week Snigger

Must be really loud inside though as the two chaps after opening the door both have their hands over their ears (terrible joke, I know... Thud )

More serious note, I'm bloody struggling to guess what jet that is in the background not wanting to cheat and lookup tail numbers or the event... first thought was an A7 Corsair then Mitsubishi F1, but I doubt it be either of those - former especially Confused Stuart

The 2 Lightweights look great together. Thumbs Up
I didn't realise the registration numbers were so close.

Talking of sisters the F1-11 in the picture is LN 444, here's 443,
