Redarrowjag, where will the photos be used?
I am only interested for personal use this is all. I am not wanting to publish on the net or anywhere.

You need – ‘Spitfires and Polished Metal’, by Barry McKee.
That covers EP120, BM597 and AR614 amongst others.
EP120 had a period of 10 days between coming out of the jig, and going into the paint shop – fully fitted out. Good overtime that week.
