Lizzie check out VWC

Helped pre oil the Lysander for Dave Hadfield as he checked out on the Lysander this weekend, got some taxi runs in before the weather closed in on us. Also took a few shots of the Spitfire MkIX wings and bits waiting to be mated to the fuselage shortly.

Dave did get up on Sunday unfortunately none of us were there to provide a proper greeting on his return! Went well as witnessed by that grin.

A couple of solutions are currently under investigation but plans are to see it fly again.

What’s the latest on the Swordfish? I guess it has engine problems. Will we see it flying again in the near future?

The VWC September airshow will be sadly missed this year.

They are surprisingly large, sitting in the cockpit gives a pretty impressive view. A real challenge to climb into either pilot or passenger. Color scheme is prewar RCAF, 416 was the first Canadian built Lysander.
