It might fit in the garage

Just found the Sportair website and apparently the tail folds too...

I'm not fat

I'm not thin either - officially...
So there!

RANS S6 G-MYHI

Sheer madness drove me to it

Bought a microlight I cannot fly and which is too long to fit in the garage (had an idea about that which doesn't involve cutting bits off the aircraft) .

Here it is...


















RANS S6 ESD registered as G_MYHI bought from Mike Mills 28th August 2006 who kindly too me up for a test flight with a couple of gallons of fuel left. He had to shoo the sheep out of the field first and then wait 20 minutes for the clouds to go.

Next is the sign writing - BIMBLES LTD!

One I found a long time ago..

I once worked at BAE very briefly and a chap there gave me a printed version of this.

Anyway - I found it amusing.

I built a compound for Colin and Simon as I'm looking after them for a while...

Take one old drop leaf table, 2 log roles and an old piece of pond liner (recently removed from the house in blackburn) to make it all waterproof

Use an ordinary stapler to secure the pond liner to the sides

Add a heat lamp, compost and there you have it:

















And now for the gun turrets...

"Remember the Alamo" seems apt?
