This project doesn’t seem to get as much attention over here than other forums. They are making steady progress on this challenging restoration. I remember an article many years ago about it and seeing how she was left in the woods shopped up and now being carefully rebuilt is outstanding!

Very impressive…. they might have had more than a dataplate to work from but the previous attempts at destruction haven’t made the restorers life any easier have they 😮
True dedication to be saving that aircraft – well done to them 🙂
