This seems to be one of the Sptifires that have been under restoration for decades but never seem to be finished.

TE517 is basicaly a fuselage restored by R E Melton in 1987. It has not had any further work done to it to my knowledge since then, having been in storage ever since.

It is stored in the South of England – together with several others – by a private individual. We are in contact with the owner and all will become clear in our forthcoming new book. Patience is a virtue!

BTW – I’ve started to build up our website as a prelude to the book being published, early days but I will soon have a comprehensive photo gallery and searchable database on the site. Feedback always welcome.

That’s the normal state for a restoration. Being finished is a statistical aberration, rather like life on earth is a statistical aberration to a palaeontologist. 😀

Hi, have you tried using the forum search, OK-? There’s a few bits of information that can be gleened from previous posts. 🙂

Thanks. Could you be more specific about her location?

She’s currently in storage in southern England after changing hands earlier this year. No plans have been made on a restoration as yet AFAIK.
