will she fly?

From the detail work I have seen, this has to be the long term ambition.

I think Mark 12 mentioned sometime ago that a Spitfire is being rebuild in Sweden (not the Mk XIX), any further info or pics (would be even better).

Thanks

It is a Russian PR Mk IV Norwegian crash provisionally identified as BP929.

I am not 100% on the ID and would hope some supporting paperwork on the crash from Russian sources will eventually surface.

Much work has been done on detail sheet metal parts but the owner currently does not wish to have photos widely aired.
