Spitfire IIa P7350 colour scheme.

P7350 Colour Scheme

Fluffy has already mentioned the colour scheme and I can tell you the Major is going well. The opportunity to carry out some extensive maintenance has been taken and this will see new skins on most of the wings and fuselage.

Great choice of markings, I hope Geoffrey Wellum features in the 2009 BBMF brochure, or at least in a photo opportunity with ‘his’ aircraft.

Another question is what happened to the 3 stub exhausts you were trialing on the fighters ?

I believe the siamese exhaust stubs were cracking frequently due to manufacturing stresses. I “think” that the relevant manufacturer is sorting the issue (or maybe if I hope enough, it’ll end up that way!)

Another question is what happened to the 3 stub exhausts you were trialing on the fighters ? We noticed various fits last season and none were fitted at the Lincs Lancs day.

Good question!

I wondered myself why were changed on the fighters at various times.

I guessed it was probably because the public didn’t like the sound of the siamese ones! :confused:

Good to hear that the final scheme for P7350 has been decided. 🙂 I was hoping the BBMF news page would be updated during the winter with progress of the major, but hopefully some news and pictures will be posted there shortly.

Cheers

Hows the major service coming along Fluffy, no hidden snags I hope?
