    Subject: RE: trip
    From: "Mike Mears" <mike.mears@bbc.co.uk>
    Thanks, look forwards to seeing you. We've got a couple of spare bedrooms, more than that, people could kip down on airbeds etc. or there's decent hotels nearby. Some of the other club members may have spare rooms. If you came at the end of June, beginning of July, you could go the Popular Flying Association Fly-in at Kemble Airfield, near Gloucester on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd of July. roughly 1,500 - 2,500 planes turn up making it one of the biggest such events in Europe. Also on the 25th of June, at our local airfield, Hucknal, there is a fly-in to commemorate 70 years of the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. They're trying to get as many Merlin-engine aircraft there as possible. The Rolls-Royce company Spitfire should be there, and there are bids in for the Battle of Britain comemorative flight (Spitfire,Hurricane and Lancaster,) to turn up. There should also be a Merlin-engined car and even a tank! Other aviation venues worth visiting are Duxford, where there are loads of historic aircraft, mostly military, with a large war-time Amreican Display, Hendon, one of the RAF's museum's and Cosford, the other. Loads of stuff, right through the years, The Shuttleworth Colection, mostly pre-second world war, some pre- first world war, nearly all flying (when the weather is right, of course) and Yeovilton, the Naval aviation Museum. Hope this whets your appetite.....

This is a Warnke prop that he recently reworked for me. The work included plugging and re-boring to SAE-2, repainting, balancing and installing the plate ( $185.00 ). The 2" extension/adaptor and hardware is from Saber in TX and is very nicely done ( $498.00 ). <http://photos.msn.com/Viewing/Album.aspx?PST8nK2AN1B!1JmZao!iR2Cw8eSpFH5c7TYhsD3fFL!KX!gF6ZrtpXIXLuB0Tp8hLciOvFK0MTW!aPFn2WLkSKfew%24%24> Dennis Vest This MSN Photo E-mail slideshow will be available for 30 days.
