The jury strut was made up at Bletchley. As most people their would not go near it after the undercarrage was lowered! It was very unsafe.

When i helped move it to Bletchley park, many years ago it had lots of metal corrosion in it. We held the wings on to the fuselarge with 10mm steel rod. It was then ordered of site!
When I last saw it at its present location it sported a kind of jury strut between the u/c legs that, due to the positioning, gave the airframe the appearance of an axled fixed u/c and may be an indication of fragility or maybe just a precaution against storm damage as it was an outdoor exhibit. This feature isn’t evident in the eBay pics due to the angle at which they’re taken so I’m not sure if that strut is still in situ.

Rear fuse is two halves knitted together, not good for airworthy.
Cockpit frame had breaks in welding, again not good fro airworthy.
Engine is a complete no no if it was the one I see with it.
Im sure the centre section had the wing join flanges ground off in parts.
That said its got a worth and its a nice item for a museum or back yard project but for airworthy project look elsewhere id say.

Yep same Six, two years on, but different method of selling!
Intrigued to see how much it goes for and by association how much the reserve is…might stick a bid in for a laff! 😀
