Another day in Visualfx's workshop finishing off my carpets and helping with various other bits and pieces. I did discover that driving Garry's other machine isn't as easy as it looks:

I fixed the throttle linkage. Test drive to work tomorrow as I'm currently pi55ed
One of these options must be right:
Micks were slightly too big, guess they are from the gearbox pivot rather than the carb one, Andy's looked the right size but the quadrant was an MFI one and I didn't want to press the bushes out... So luckily the ones MDR recommended from simply bearings were spot on the right size.

Fitted these
The rears went in easily, the fronts needed a bit more trimming

Stuck the paragliding wing in the back (it fits), drove to the lift…. went for a fly…. then went for a little blast afterwards.
Chamonix - Glacier des Bossons and Mont Blanc in the background.

Managed to get both headlights to fit (sort of...), and connected up heated windscreen (sort of...).
A 'sort of' kind of day all round, really.

Drove the 914/6 to Lincolnshire on Thursday, and had a pub dinner with several Porsche hillclimbers, then on Friday visited the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre at East Kirkby http://www.lincsaviation.co.uk/ , where they pulled this out for us to see -
It was pretty noisy inside when they started all 4 Merlins.......
Tail-end Charlie's "office"
We all carry a full set of spare engines - don't we?
Sobering bit was seeing the 2 large plaques in the Chapel listing the airmen lost from just 2 Squadrons at that fairly small station.........
Then had a great drive back to Somerset along the Fosse way, missing all of the Bank Holiday traffic parked on the motorways!
Cheers!
