Duxford today, a few for the future.

What is the last photo? Is that another Hind brought back from Afghanistan?

It is Guy Blacks Hind project, it was recoverd from Afganistan with the Shuttleworth collections machine. More info here:

It’s been mentioned a number of times on here already. The airctaft was on show at the recent Spitfire day as well.

Some people just dont pay attention do they 😀

What’s the Dutch Spit doing there? I’m surprised one of our regular ‘Duxford sleuths’ has not mentioned this before? :confused:

Ah, tis clear to me now? Any idea what shes doing here?

Am I seeing things, or has that Spit got MH434 written below the tail flash?

With clipped wings?? It’s actually MJ271 painted as ‘MH424’.

OK, OK, I see it now! Time for a new pair of glasses methinks……

Is that Beaufighter being dismantled for a new owner then ?

I expect it will be dismantled in the future once sold but that is as far as they have got with the restoration. The nose was on at one point but they had to take it off to put the plumbing in.
