The Lizzie is alive… At 6 o’clock this evening, under a perfect summer sky, the Lysander’s 9 cylinder Bristol Mercury engine burst into life for the first time! From the short first run we learn enough about how the engine is behaving to begin making the necessary setup adjustments to things such as fuel mixture, which will now be finely tuned until they are just right. But before all that begins in the morning, we’d just like to share this amazing moment with you all… What a milestone!

And todays update and pics…:applause:

The next Lysander update is here! From the weigh-in and engine runs, to the adding of our own personal touch in the form of a roundel red spinner and wheel covers. The Lizzie is gathering pace and character with every passing moment as we begin to close down on that first flight! Here are some of the defining moments in the restoration over the past week, Enjoy! https://www.facebook.com/aircraftrestorationcompany/posts/1046747605481906
