Well it has finally arrived. That day when baby was left at the airport ready for her major surgery. She is being completely stripped down to bare metal, then a full re-spray. At the same time the interior is being removed and shipped to aero comfort for them to work their magic. I feel like a nervous parent whose child has just gone into Theatre for an operation. I almost cried when I left her on Friday. She is in good hands I know, but worrying never the less. Attsched is the last photo of her in her old paint scheme, and old interior. Andrew

I will hopefully be picking up my '67 F from bare metal re-spray in the next week or two. Obviously I'll give her a thorough looking over before accepting her back, jumping in and flying away. I'm pretty sure the logs / paperwork will all be in order (including double engineering sign-off) but, mindful that all of the control surfaces have been off (including the entire empennage), what kind of checklist of things would you, as a receiving owner, check before flying away? Comments about the respray itself or the control surfaces checks welcome!! Im just psyching myself up for the big day!! I will of course post pics when she's back home!!
