According to ‘Aeroplane’ at the time of publishing (mid April) it was due to be taken to a secret location for assembly and flight test at the beginning of May-can’t wait to see it!

Can’t lay my hand on it but the SVAS newsletter said thet the Water leak on the Shuttlworth Hind had been fixed, so its serviceable for this years displays.

I am dreaming of the day when a we have a Demon/Hind pair, a Gladiator pair and a Nimrod pair in the air together, something I never ever imagined possible.
What a sight that would be, Six silver 1930’s biplanes in formation.

Sorry don’t know the current status of the Demon but the Hind is on the display list for the May 1st airshow so it seems it is airworthy.
