I’m keeping well away from the serial number debate…

….but having browsed the Biggles Biplane website I noticed that “347” is not an identity that the aircraft seemed to carry in her original incarnation, when she carried “2984”.

Blue Max or Low’n’Slow – what was the reason for the change of serial when the aircraft is otherwise re-appearing much as she was in 1977?

Magnificent project – so exciting to have first flight in sight!

Yup, I’d entitled it just ‘347’ to wind you up Matt, but I was ‘moderated’ 😀

Quite right to:D

New flying wires due to arrive for fitment next week. Then the paperwork and final checks…. Not too much left to do after that!

Watch this space!!

She’s looking very good – when will we see wind beneath her wings (assuming the restoration team have been on a low fibre diet, of course)?

A bit obsessive and superior of you isn’t it L&S?;)
