The Bluebird Project

Hi
Regarding yesterday's pic of the day ( air start ) it was mentioned this will be carried out externally at Scotland. What is the reason behind this ?
Many thanks

Hi all
I couldn't help notice during watching the spirit reborn DVD that bluebird lands on her port side in the simulation. I have watched footage & studied pictures & I can see it was an impact starboard side if I'm not mistaken. Could you clarify.
Thank you
Vernon

Hi team
Just watched latest progress video.. excellent as alway & the work you have all achieved is incredible.
A quick question relating to the tail fin.. the rod that protrudes outwards.. what actually is it for?
Thank you
Vernon

Hi bill / team
Just a quick one regarding a previous pic of the day cockpit view. How close to the original is the new seat & harness as it was mentioned it was more comfortable than the original? & was it really necessary to alter the position of the seat?
Thank you
Vernon

Hi
I was recently looking at pictures of the rebuild. I noticed that both of bluebird sponsons ( the bottom halfs) were blue. Are these the original? As shortly after the crash In 67 both bottom halves were retrieved.
Thanks
