I'm off to Bristol early next month to do the first survey of our squashed Barracuda.
"You don't have to straighten everything, you know," they told me.
Looks like the project is a goer.

Re: broken Barracuda Project
I'm not starting the horrid thing but I do insist on building the engine. Not done a Merlin before...

Re: broken Barracuda Project
Been doing a bit of research on the things-they seem to enjoy scuba diving as a hobby-over 30 splashed around the coastline-probably all broken by now with corrosion but good for templates-Think the bashed remains are all Mark 2 anyway-
Mike-starting the things might be a bit problematic on an airfield-need a ticket!( and that's Fixed wing Bill!)-Taxiing the bugger needs at least a permit to taxi or a valid licence-dunno if a PPL covers a Baccaruda-there aint any of the type in private hands!-In fact there aint any of the type!,but knowing the BBP there must be a good few licensed pilots around who would do the honours.

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.

I know K3 had a Meteor, but in reality it was a Merlin, just with the supercharger replaced with a starter, and I used to quite enjoy starting that on a regular basis!

Re: broken Barracuda Project
If this happens-can I suggest a kinda list of "getme's" and" gofors"-as in airframe,engine & props,ancilliaries,undercarriage etc-would alleviate doubling up on folks searching for the same item?-just a thought

Re: broken Barracuda Project
You should call it the broken Barracuda Conserveering - the acronym might get it some accidental extra attention.
