The hawks interior colour is curtis interior green.

It is very different from the standard U.S interior green.

Shouldn’t we be seeing your life size cardboard replica of a French Château somewhere on the horizon?

Is there an echo on here?

See post 34.;)

that’s the wrong grey…………….

Better the wrong grey, than the wrong Dark Earth eh?

:dev2:

Even sadder! It was G-AWHI/”Yellow 4+-” and it also had smoke pots and was the only aircraft known to have fully rounded wingtips fitted and they were in bare metal. I have pictures of it at Lydd in August ’68. Sorry can’t post due to copyright. Septic also has pictures of it in France with rounded tips but didn’t have an ID until my pictures showed up. How’s that for an answer 🙂

You really must get out of that shed in the garden more often.;)

Good point Bruce.

Er….. from what i have been told 915 has its wings off for insp as well.

But what do i know. :rolleyes:

When we restored Spitfire SM969 we found some very interesting notes left inside the skin work.

Also found a BA spanner inside EP120 when we picked her up from St Athan.

Didn’t some of the Griffon-engined variants have extra fuel tanks in the leading edges of the wings, just inboard of the cannons/undercarriage?

Correct, all late mark griffon Spitfires/ Seafires did have leading edge tanks.
