TFCs FG-1D Bu. No 88297 has still got fabric outer wing panels.

One of only a few flying that still has,many being skinned over with metal.

Its 1850 squadron Fleet Air Arm scheme has the serial KD345,it should in fact be KD545 for 130/A but this was found out only after we had painted her.

The aircraft never flew with the FAA.

Nice pictures.

Love one of the foot wells.

Never knew the hurricane had fitted carpet.

Nice paint scheme as well.

Glad its not in that awful shade of Dark Earth thats appeared of late.:)

I never noticed before until someone on here pointed it out, but TFC Spitfire XIV MV293/G-SPIT has a MkXVIII rudder….

Correct.

There is a modification post war that introduces the larger rudder,and that is incorporated on G-SPIT.

Post war modifications on the Spitfire are extensive and on a modern restoration must be embodied to CAA requirements.

Whos says they got rid of all of them?

If I may say, that tail band looks a touch on the wide side. 😉

Mark

Thats what i thought.

Someones research is very poor.;)

Well ur out of luck.

it was suggusted early on but its not 208 sqn.

SM969 is a F.XVIII not an FR.
