The other HAC Kestrel had an engine fault, and it was realised that this one would be the same.
So this one came apart too.

I was lucky enough to inspect this aircraft in detail last year (as I am doing an Isaacs Fury)
and I have to say that this is an outstanding restoration.
The attention to detail is quite superb. Guy Black and the HAC team deserve tremendous credit for an amazing contribution to all our aviation heritage.

I can’t wait to see it fly.
