    John Dibbs got a MkXVI painted in desert markings a few years back.

    Not sure of the Number.

    Mk V or another spit expert will probably know more

    It was only water wash for one of his calenders

    I hate to say this but i have to agree with Digby.

    Its to early to start saying how long it will take to re build

    Even if a rebuild is on the cards i think 18 months is a rather shallow statement to make

    Lets wait and see what the owner decides to do then comment

    Any rebuild of a Corsair is a major undertaking,this old girl would be even more difficult.

    Best it is left well alone

    Getting back to the original question,WoGB had a Mk 16 Spitfire RW386 which went to Historic Flying in there early days,it was sister ship to HFLs first rebuild RW382 as they both flew with the same squadron.

    It was not completed,but was painted in the codes NG-D

    I remember seeing it at audley end,but can,t think why work was stopped

    I suspect she is at weald in a box with the others,which include a very nice P-40.
