Ok looks like I'm next! I'm an ex-agricultural engineer (yes get all those tractor jokes off your chest now) now working at PPS at Booker. The current project is the gradual restoration of AR213, we hope to whack in the last rivet in the port wing by christmas ready to start on the stbd wing when we return from the merriment that is the Christmas hols. I shall hopefully post some piccies of our GRADUAL progress in the coming months.
