just a trip to Duxford again, noticed this old girl hanging from the ceiling and she looked so elegant supported by thin steel wires.

I have more pics in the workshop if you want me to post them, I chat with the guys working on the airplanes, I did community service at the PIMA county air museum in Tucson AZ, when I got busted for breaking into railroad cars and stealing kegs of beer. I must have washed and painted every plane there, it really makes you appreciate just how much work it takes to restore an old plane. To me they are works of art and the media is Aluminum and Steel.

Nice pic Jeff! You know what bird it is?

btw. I've added the 56k warning since we do have modem users.

Its a Vickers design I think, I have more pics, would you like to see them?

Great photo!

I noticed the resemblance of the Boeing 747 Jumbo to the front end of this one...
