Excellent stuff. Is this an early Demon or one with the Frazer-Nash ‘lobsterback’ turret? Now that would be a sight…

Oxcart, I visited them about 2 months ago. The engine was in and fitted, awaiting hoses. They also need to sort out the brakes apparently.

She is ABSOLUTELY stunning in the flesh and a credit to all at Skysport. As is a particular project i ‘helped’ them with in the wings.

They seem pretty confident about flying her in the New Year, but as ever with old aeroplanes- watch this space!
