13th June 2007 - The Hawk has flown...

...well part of it! Yesterday saw the completed rear fuselage section loaded onto a trailer to be transported to the PFA hangar at Dunkeswell. At the Kingsbridge Air Cadet Squadron's hut PFA Devon Strut member Jim Gale gave a brief thank you talk to the cadets involved and spread the PFA word to them and their officers. The cadets next input will be at Dunkeswell on June 30th at the South West Regional Rally, where they will help to man the BaP2 stand.

5th June 2007  -  Section Finished!



The ATC 1876 Squadrons work is finished and Jim Gale is going to Kingsbridge next week with a trailer to take it to Dunkeswell for assembly to the other sections, ready for the PFA South West Regional Rally 30th June/1st July.

29th May 2007    -    Progress Made!






Three relays of two cadets over a 3 hour period made great strides in assembling the rear fuselage section, so much so that Tim Gilmour-White believes that the cabin cage assembly and rear fuselage section will be able to be mated during the 2nd – 3rd week of June. Kingsbridge coordinator Chris Howell stated, “At last the Cadets have achieved meaningful progress and can actually see the shape of the aircraft beginning to form. From the look on their faces, by the end of the evening, they really felt that they had accomplished something”. Quality of assembly was overseen by Devon PFA inspector, Dave Storey, who commented on the enthusiasm of the cadets and their concentration in getting it right.

With assembly of all components proceeding well in all four corners of Devon, it is envisaged that the project will be displayed at the forthcoming PFA South West Regional Rally, to be held at Dunkeswell Airfield, Devon, on 30th June – 1st July 07. The Scouts and Air Cadets involved will be manning the stand to talk about their experiences.
