@bluebirdk7 Maybe that's the RMs goal - turn it back into a wreck? They appear to be heading in the right direction with the current engineering team!

@bluebirdk7 Done 👍

@ParkerWarker @Wayne_midlife @bluebirdk7 I would have left out 'show' as there wasn't one. Simple 'Shit festival' would be a more fitting and accurate description.

@bluebirdk7 So the canopy stays in place by air pressure forcing it down and back? There's a roller on the front to allow it to slide onto the foredeck. Does it just sit on the side or hook under the runners? I personally think the latch excuses was to save more embarrassment!

[Chris Moon @moonachris]

@bluebirdk7 Ahh, yet another bodge job! Is it possible to engineer in any more failure points 😩

[Chris Moon @moonachris]

@HatsPeriod @bluebirdk7 "Bluebird K7 the festival" What it lacked was K7. I was there on Saturday and the whole atmosphere was flat. Disappointed people waiting around for hours then called off due to a faulry latch? Really? I thought the current engineering team kept aircraft in the sky!

[Chris Moon @moonachris]

@bluebirdk7 We all want to see K7 performing at her best. Authentic on the button HP start, up on the plane skimming across Coniston! What timescale do you think to get K7 back to this standard?

[Chris Moon @moonachris]

@bluebirdk7 BBP was completely transparent and documented every step of the restoration and successful runs on Bute. That's all recorded in the history books. With the RM it's all done behind closed doors, in a tent or on pontoon out of view. Very sad chapter in K7s history 😢

[Chris Moon @moonachris]

@bluebirdk7 Oh dear when we thought things couldn't get any worse 😩 Paying public in an extremely confined space. I hope @CumbriaFire and the RM insurance are aware!

[Chris Moon @moonachris]

@the_real_nick_b @bluebirdk7 Shocking insight to the vandalism done to K7. In 220 days it will be 60 years since DCs final run. K7 in its current condition is an insult to the great man and the volunteers that restored her. K7 needs immediate removal from the RM and putting back to 1967 condition and run.

[Chris Moon @moonachris]

@HatsPeriod @bluebirdk7 Yes they do & properly set up for K7

[Chris Moon @moonachris]

@novie03509937 @bluebirdk7 When I was there on Saturday K7 was sat on the slipway with the canopy removed after the aborted morning run. The canopy was put back on just before launching in the afternoon. Then the run was aborted due to the bent latch.

@HatsPeriod @bluebirdk7 My daughter has a very keen interest in history and has just completed a weeks work experience at a national trust property where she was schooled and participated in the role of preventive conservation on historical items. The RM seem not to care about K7? Butchey and damage 😩

@bluebirdk7 Any pictures available of the current engine installation? I guess the RMs (robbing museum) engineering brief was get it making some noise and blowing warm air out the back?

[Chris Moon @moonachris]

@bluebirdk7 Disappointed I didnt get to see K3 run on Saturday. It wasn't even outside on public display - tucked away at the back end of the workshop tent. It would have been nice to have a public walkway internally through the workshop tent to see K3 and K7 being worked on.

[Chris Moon @moonachris]

@bluebirdk7 Imagine that, restoring an iconic piece of British engineering history, out performing in its natural environment to inspire future generations. 🤔

[Chris Moon @moonachris]

@ForcesNews @bluebirdk7 New project for you - build 9 Hawk T1 replicas in 4 years 🤣

[Chris Moon @moonachris]

@HatsPeriod @bluebirdk7 High pressure onboard air tanks. BBP started K7 on Bute with off board HP air so the sound was authentic and later developed a fully integrated HP start system..

[Chris Moon @moonachris]

@MarkTur89444288 @bluebirdk7 A festival of lies, deception and false hopes to string the paying public along. K7 was in trouble from the first run and clearly not performing. Blame it on the restrictor, the catch, the weather, the lake, the canoe etc etc. Finally let's blame BBP 😩 TRULY A SHAMBLES!
