The amazing Rick at Solo Italia made a tail pipe today for my VIS, and welded it on. Thus saving me hundreds of pounds another garage would have charged for a new back box etc. What a dude! It's a fantastic run out to his new place, through lovely countryside on the edge of the Cotswolds, AND I saw an amazing sight - a Galaxy aircraft flying out of Brize Norton! So I have had a great day, and The Coup is ready for Brooklands, just need to give her a good clean and polish. Sounds like great service from the specialist! In another life I used to work at Brize on major serving of VC10 and Tristars, used to do turn around servicing on the big US Starlifters on a regular basis- sometimes they would drop of tanks, helicopters and even other planes out of the cargo body

It may have been a C17 Globemaster Annie, Brize is the home of the UKs C17 fleet, I spent many happy years flying on those.
Whatever it was, it was huge, like the Deathstar!
