SPITFIRE MK VB BL628

Does anyone know what is the latest with this airplane. They have a website that was last updated in 2002. It had said they plan to begin flight testing in 2002.

Yes, Mark, the owners told me the engine was complete and back with them (in an interesting green colour). The restoration shop assembling the wings captions the project as a Spitfire Vc for some reason.

Leading edges/box spar assemblies supplied from the UK.

Wings now under final construction/assembly in New Zealand.

Engine reported on rebuild, or perhaps now completed, with a noted facility.

About half way there then. 🙂
