Do pop in and have a look!

Thanks for the info Stefan, I am a long time volunteer at AB, but because I am unable to stand for very long have not been in for a year. The new location is good because it is near the English wheel which is used to shape curves in skin panels. there is a video on the AB website showing it being used. The freighter you mentioned on display I think I flew on from Borneo to Singapore in 1965. I worked at Filton for 28 years finishing as an aircraft design manager.
