Title: Wingnut Wings website finally gone? But it’s now back
Post by: gedmundson on March 25, 2023, 01:33:21 AM: I noticed this morning that access to the Wingnut Wings website was unavailable. Perhaps it’s finally gone?
Cheers,
Gary

The end of an era.

Most unfortunate it is.

Only thumbnails of images etc…

Such a shame!

Whenever I visited the site post-end-of-production I would save whatever page I was visiting to the Internet Archive, but I'm afraid I didn't go anywhere near the vast majority of them. I'm glad I was able to do my bit!

It was bound to happen, being just a money sink, but still.

Post by: toady on March 27, 2023, 09:08:20 AM: Looks like it came back!

Post by: Berman on March 27, 2023, 09:38:40 AM: I and others would greatly appreciate if someone had the time and proper equipment to make a DVD copy of the entire website. I am positive that this website will not remain online forever. I would pay for a DVD.

Post by: Rookie on March 27, 2023, 05:00:06 PM: I did download the instructions for all the kits a year ago or so, but only that.

So, no archive photos, colour photos, colour schemes, model images, hints & tips, or 360° turnarounds.

If anyone has the instructions for the Handley Page O/400 kit (32039) I would forever be grateful. I seem to remember that they were on the website only briefly. When you Google for it now you are lead here:

The info and instructions for the Handley Page O/100 are here:

Kind regards,
Willem

If it was intentionally taken off-line, why reinstate later.
Maybe the site was down during routine server maintenance etc.
The site in total is around 4 GIG in size, so it wouldn't be a major hit on its host server.
Time will tell I guess,
