    I have the spanners out already, signed on for some volunteer work at hangar 42 in Blackpool and my main job there is rebuilding a RR Griffon 57a, hopefully back to running condition.

    On my phone at the minute so I'll see if I can get some pics uploaded when I get home

    Here we go, took a while to find them as I'd uploaded them onto my laptop, pics should be the Griffon, The hangar and the Spitfire simulator, as it turns out the simulator is running Cliffs of Dover at the minute too.
