DH.88 Comet "Black Magic"

Hello all,

After a bit of help here. Does anyone have photos of “Black Magic” as she looked when she was found in Portugal in 1979?

TIA!

Tim.

That D.H. 88 also flew as CS-AAJ:

Must have been looking good, all black with the reg in red.

Thanks Martin and TT.

I knew she was a real shambles when found. I was holding off emailing until after I had asked here as there is such a lot of knowledge here. But I’ll fire off an email this evening.

Cheers,

Tim

I don’t I’m afraid, but I remember when I was a young lad and was a hangar rat at Bodmin, there wasnt much of her when Bill Hosie started the rebuild there in the mid 1980s.
