I’m not sure how long this has been round, or if it’s recent.

Apologies if it is a repeat.

They have simply shuffled everything about to put it in one place by the looks of things.

That is very interesting Moggs, sort of does not clear up Resto or replica !
As in the MK1 Spits flying now and the Hurricane Is to come I do like to feel they are restorations and not replicas.

I don’t recall it being highlighted here previously. I see that it mentions that:
“There is no set minimum amount of the original aircraft required to allow the project to be considered a restoration. However, there must be something recognisable from the aircraft for it to be classed as original, normally primary structure and generally from the fuselage, even if these parts are subsequently replaced.”
I may have missed some further restriction explained elsewhere, but does the above mean that a restoration must make its first post-restoration with those original parts incorporated or does it mean that original parts can be incorporated in the initial stages of a project to prove provenance and then be replaced (before completion and first flight) with flight worthy
material?
