Happened to come across an old BBC program tonight about the history of AD540 and found a link here from about 10 years ago. Does anybody have any further news about the aircraft? It looked like there were substantial pieces of wreckage recovered from the ground when recovered.

Didn’t Peter Wood have this one? Has he moved it on now then then?

…and the skeletal fuselage of Seafire RX168 on loan from ARCo.
…and the static fuselage they are constructing as a training programme using patterns and drawings.

Quite possibly – they have both do they not?

Is therefore confusion with BL688?

Its now with Parnall down in Cornwall – and I think is their candidate for an airworthy rebuild in due course.

As I recall, she was in the process of being slowly rebuilt to fly, but I can’t seem to find her on G-INFO.
I think I posted the full-length video of the recovery on here not so long ago. Anyway, here it is again….
