Unfortunately we've had to pull a couple of Devon Strut fly-ins, at Belle Vue and Roserrow, listed in Sept issue of LA. Our current calendar is at http://www.devonstrut.co.uk/events/4536727634

Proposals have been published for new airspace around Newquay Airport (6nm radius from ground level to 5000ft) and a corridor (7nm wide and from 2000 to 5000ft) to the north west of Newquay, linking it with the offshore Danger Area D064, for the accommodation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems. http://www...

Ian, that was posted on the Devon Strut Facebook page by Strut member Richard Horner. We'll be following it up to assess its performance & suitability.

Jim, as I stated, their not my numbers but from a friend. He's experienced in Nipper restorations and worked for Nipper Aircraft in the past. If you pm me with your phone number I'll pass it on so you can chat to him directly.

Nick, the front bolts should be 8mm and the rear ones 12mm.

Steve, you have a pm. regards, Mike
