How is LZ842 going?

” It currently has no RAF serial assigned.”

Will those with a Mk. IX Data Plate please form an orderly queue here…

The mortal remains of the original LZ842, frame 5 etc, that had been incorporated in to Ross Campbell’s fuselage project were extracted, inspected, repaired and refurbished. A new fuselage was then built by Airframe Assemblies to full airworthy standard incorporating said pieces and that is complete.

The residue of the Campbell fuselage project, minus the LZ842 material, was then resuscitated to full quality static display condition by A-A and has been completed for the owner. It currently has no RAF serial assigned.

It will all be in the book. 🙂

Will “the book” be available to us mere mortals – and when. My well thumbed copy of the Aston Publications “Spitfire Survivors” is getting a bit long in the tooth now.

Thanks Mk12!! Anyone got recent piccies of the two airframes?Two for the price of one.Sounds like a good way of doing things.

It will indeed all be in The book … together with over 270 others.

Watch this space 🙂

Hi Qldspitty, there are no pictures currently avalible because airframes are in secure storage. Further to MK12’s post, the port wing is also complete.
