Stuart Gowans' Spitfire Project

Well, what with a hectic recording career and my work at the UN, progress has been a bit slow of late……in fact this is the first thing I’ve done with the project this year; only one of these is new, the other I made 2 years ago, from quite a small drawing! Pay no attention to the mismatched or missing bolts, reinforcements are on their way!

Obviously some of these piccys are out of order (no, not in that way) but here’s  a couple showing the forming of the bottom longeronfolder

That certainly beats having rusty lawnmowers in your shed! I am most impressed.
