It’s great to see now that with the advances in paint mostly no-one shoots gloss paint over them which was the norm in the 70’s and 80’s, from the BBMF to the few warbirds in private hands. The argument was that it used less fuel and engine power to push it through the air and it soon looked dirty and unkempt to the public if a true war era finish was used.

I’m involved with my father’s old motorcycles aged from 100 years old to 68 years old and I’m continually amazed by what can be made or re-engineered to make any vehicle perform as intended again, P9374’s prop being the most outstanding article, presuambly now the tools and knowledge are there more can be made-at a price!:eek:
