“Something or other Monthly” in an article about certain North Weald based aircraft makes reference to the restoration of a Spit IX with a Russian provenance.
Is this ex TFC (iirc RK xxx) or an additional recovery?
In the same article, theres also reference to changing undercarriage units for use on paved runways – would this modification require bulges in the upper wing?
also shows piccy of TFC P-40B – which they hope to have flying in 8 months from now….

IIRC,the aviation mags a few years ago published pics of a seriously mangled Soviet Spitfire IX,reported to have spun into the ground inverted. It was reported that it was going to be restored to flight using a ‘patented metal straightening process’! Was this PT879?

how far is the restoration up to or has it just begun?
Er…………..Yes.
I,d say it’s in the very early stages.
So early they have’nt started. 🙂
