Today was the moment of truth! James Smith took his new Seafire for his first trip to the skies today. Just after Nelson adjusted the trim a bit off he went. He said it flew like a dream and he is smiling from ear to ear. Here is a shot of it for you boys. It looks as if it is back in its homeland. Nelson has been enjoying his time here in Montana and he surely deserves a “ATTA BOY” for his restoration job on this beauty. There will be more photos coming soon. Thanks for all your time and effort boys across the pond for the love off this Seafire.

The stones maybe on the lighter side but then us Americans have always been on the bright side 😀 ….you folks built a beauty of an airplane!!!!! Jim says it is now the pride of his collection…it has a sound like no other and it truly is a bird to admire…Well done chaps!!!! We salute you all and it was you boys that got it to be painted in its true colors …it did take some doing from you all to get it done that way and it does look awesome!

The stones are the wrong colour. Someone paint them Grey 😉 The Seafire looks stunning though.

Owner takes flight in VP441
Hi Bobby,
Many thanks for the photo of Jim Smith flying his Seafire. We hope he enjoys many more to come. We are all green with envy. 😀
Your comments on Nelson’s work on VP441 are echoed here. I have already passed on my hearty congrats to Nelson and his fine team of co-workers at Breckenridge.
Keep the photos coming!
BR,
Laurie.
