I resealed half of the fuel tanks, and took part in remanufacturing the gun turrets, part of the cockpit, as all the acrylic windows had loads of spider cracks. Flaps and some other bits and peices....
Was awesome when it was finally together, they took it out for it's first engine start, and realised they got the firing order arse backwards.

we were doing the hardware and the UI, my mate was still working on the UI for about a year after I was made redundant, 2 other friends and x directors of the company I went to work for gametrac/gizmondo and were owed money. If you read about them they were just loosing money, they gave our team a bonus 25K for a weeks work, they just didn't care! Of course at the time we didn't know what they were like

Weird! - We did some work on the battery for it. It was a single lithium ion prismatic, I still have the SLA models in my desk somewhere... as you said, it was a joke. Never a chance of taking off. Lots of people lost lost of money over that thing... <<shudder>>

If I remember the original battery was a nokia phone one in the demos, I still have the RevA pcb at home.

I thought it was a lancaster. or do I just not know my planes?
I know there was a spitfire and a hurricane to accompany it....... ......awesome sound!  I didn't realy do any work on 'anything' in particular. I've done a lot of work on a LOT of corporate company logos....not much to bragg about realy.  I helped make the reflective parts on police uniform and kit for 10yrs.....does that count?  ...oh and doesn't barbie know that redrum was mulched up and put into pukka pies years ago? why is she still trying solve the mystery of the missing horse?

I think the wings are upturned like that because its in flight, i think most aircraft do that, or i could be wrong

Such a beautiful machine, love every detail of it - the sound is just to die for though, all WWII planes sound cool

It's a Lancaster. The Lincoln has different shape radiators ans turrets (and is slightly larger but you can't tell from these pics).
You're british ! Know you history !! The Lancaster was a real war winner alongside the Spitfire ! I have an RC version of it (i fly too )WWII planes are some of the most beautifull machines ever made ! and the sound of the engines is the best ever.
