Hi Folks,
Congratulations to Richard and Jax on a special day yesterday, Jimbob has
touched on the scope of the trials that you went through to get VH-CAX back
in the air again.
I vividly remember how this airframe had been 'parted out' in the late 90's
and how close it got to being summarily scrapped.
The vision of it leaving on a low loader with wing off etc immediately
invited speculation over the challenges that would be involved in this
project.
Many will understand how difficult it is to perform such a restoration when
you simply don't have the parts or knowledge in the country...how difficult
and disheartening it is to have to wait weeks and months for that next key
fuel tank bladder or carburettor part...many do not have the patience or
tenacity to stretch this over ten years...it is indeed a tribute to the TCFG
that this restoration has been successful.
Well done guys I am proud of you!!
Cheers
Russell (at the other end of Oz)
