throw in the Wapiti for the RAFM as part of the swop – in addition to any other possible reason for such an exchange – and the thought of a Mk I Hurri, presumably with an operational history for the BBMF, becomes appealing, even if it will take some time to bring the BBMF back up to its complement of 2 Hurris. Need to get TE finished……

I’d be shocked if there is any original Wapiti material in that aircraft, to be honest. When I saw her, it looked more or less like a collection of used bicycle and tractor parts patched together with fence posts and wrapped in fabric. It is a decent representation from a distance though, which is all that was probably intended.

Cheers,
Richard
