Great video very interesting it’s a treat to watch them all need more videos great job 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌😊

Great informative videos guys shame about matey grinding towards the end

😎👍

These videos are so methodical and well explained, a pleasure to watch too. 😎

Tell them.other buggers to be quiet!!! FFS!

A really good video showing why you have to be careful dismantling big items on a workbench! There is never enough room and a part will always go where you don't expect it to. Good use of Helicoils, very useful item for the toolbox and loved the ease of re-assembly! Aaron's humour is superb, it makes the videos. Thanks to both of you.

Good helicoil demonstration. If the casing was devoid of any components then in some circumstances a full metal insert can be made and pinned on joint and new hole drilled and tapped.

This reminds me why getting old isn't so bad because I'm in on a Saturday night to watch this lol. Cheers

Many of the first will be last.

I remember seeing this Mk1 and a few other split commanders hatch versions at Catterick back in 1984 while I was doing my trade training prior to joining 3RTR.

The Skeeter engine was a derivative of the Gypsy major as fitted to Chipmunks etc (it’s amazing what crap sticks in your head,351 Squadron Burton on Trent Air Training Corps 1977to1982 Sgt Guntripp takes me back)

Love Flixton - we're only about ten miles down the road from it. The Skeeter is a beauty - the forebear of the Wasp and the Scout.

Hi My name is Carl Wilson. We have a complete Saunders Roe Skeeter at the Morayvia Aviation museum in Kinloss, Moray, near the former RAF Kinloss. The Flixton museum is excellent, been there a few times. It is the only place I've ever seen recovered V2 rocket parts. Amazing.

Never seen so many blokes working together looks like a council roadworks

I see that the engine has a Coffman starter using the big cartridges (as opposed to the smaller ones for Percival Marshall tractors) to feed the compressed gas starter motor. It seems a large engine for such a small helicopter but I suppose those big rotor blades need that to spin them up.

As you have the bearing number is it worth ringing Middle Wallop to see if they still have one in gash stores?

Wish I was there to see the Skeeter but unfortunately in Australia. You are right, it is rare and please just don’t sell it to just anyone. I had arranged to buy a rare Sud Avion Djinn on display complete from a museum only to find it had been sold under the counter to a helicopter company behind my back. It sat in a empty office for 10 years, moved to a hanger discretely to hide it for a further 25 years and as far as I am aware still sits there. I had already organised replacement parts from France before I expressed interest and had planned to have it airworthy within two years. So 35 years later the parts are now unavailable, the helicopter is in poor condition and incomplete as parts have been lost in transit. Find someone you really trust to complete the job in a timely manner and can be held accountable.

is there any chance of restoring and having it fly again?

As soon as Arran said hand warmer I knew where he was headed 😂

Definitely a move controlled by a committee

Thanks + good the chopper is going to a new home. Can you also post a link to the 'other' museum.

The best kind of project is one that belongs to someone else! I did not see the rotor blades loaded, I understand they are a bit broken, but at least a cleanup and some paint would make them look good on top of the helicopter.

Flixton is a great museum. Perfect place for the Skeeter.

Nice to see 👍. I can’t remember if I see him in the museum 😊

such a cool body style for a helicopter man that thing is so sick

Yeah! A new video within a week as promised lol. Things are looking good. Cheers

Tame radio guy? So now you have a tame radio guy and a not so tame one 😂

Great to see you back. The new build is looking good just lighting and heating?❤😊

Actually I would watch Josh clean out a grungy old chieftain for a few hours.

Look like you have a lot fun things to do look forward to seeing the Land Rover and ferrets to be worked on very interesting video look forward to the next video 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌😊

Great! Landy content, even better that it's a Wolf-a-like just like my 110 Tithonus! The brake caliper bolts are better removed using a 1/2" spanner or 1/2" 12 point socket, 13mm can round them off, a socket will fit fine with some encouragement from a knocking stick. 👍

What's up with the Frog ?

Happy New Year and it's really great to see you back again. Looking forward to all that you do

Must be cold in Norfolk...first time I've seen Aaron in long trousers 👖 😂❗️

Looks a nice Land Rover. You could Nick name it the Mongrel Wolf lol😂 . Be nice to see it running. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Last vlog was doing the hedge-cutter wasn't it? Considering the weather you would have had trouble doing videos, thank for this view of the 2025 work load. Enjoy seeing your hard work, keeping heritage for another generation to wonder about it. Happy New Year to all.

excellent to see the 110 Landy, I'm after a 110 Military this year if everything works out so will watch this with interest

Just use a fuckin small tractor,, any sort will do

Haha christ, ud think that that gator with that big fella in it would have some traction

Excellent stuff!

Can't beat a bit of land rover. Got a series 2, just needs a chassis and a few other bits. 😂

Oh no! Basic recovery mistake. Your tow rope is running up to the towed vehicle, this has the effect of lifting the rear of the recovery vehicle when tension is applied. Tow hitch should always be higher than the anchor point on the stranded vehicle

Good to see you back lads

Where have you been? Is it a treat them mean and keep them keen? Or absence makes the heart grow fonder? Great to see you back.

That milly sounds good when under load 👌🏻👌🏻

Yeah what happened to part 2 and did the jeep survive....?????

😎👍
