I think most of the ‘bluing’ is due to the age of the film, but then perhaps not! 😉

Afraid not, as clips contain family parts too. Might see if can splice the aviation parts together and ask again, but at this present time, it’s just the pictures as seen here. Am lucky that am able to do that. Some cracking films. Thought was going to be just buckets and spades and then was presented with Buchons and Spitfires. Makes interesting viewing.
I hate buying magazines in bags, but took the plunge today. I understand that this took a long time to put together and I appreciate that, but even though I was instrumental in checking one part (wonder which?), still a few little mistakes here and there. Not all Auster 6s were converted into Terriers and the caption for Harvard AJ841/G-BJST has a photo of G-BKRA in it’s place. And 27 pages of Spitfires……
Wings and exhausts were replicated by Gateguards down in Newquay.

Gentlemen,
Thank you for taking the time to reply, much appreciated. So it may appear that somehow the monies never made it to the UK and it is possible that the money was used to buy a RAAF machine. If i or the lady find anything else, we will of course come back here and tell you.
Thanks again,
Martin
Email sent this morning. Hopefully something can be arranged.
Cheers,
Martin
Thanks, you can tell I’m not into Spitfires, just noisy American Trainers! 🙂
Now, the question is, do I keep the wheel or sell it? 🙂
Martin
You are right, it’s my eyesight. There is a mark on the wheel which makes it look like a second 1.
Other marks found are ‘AH0727’ and a triangle of letters with R at the top, B to the left and M to the right. Think will take some photos to illustrate what I am rambling on about!!!
The gentleman said it was from a Mk.8, but didn’t think many of them were built?
Many thanks,
Martin
No.34 in the Warpaint series of books is on the Lincoln. Author is Tony Buttler.
Also, the SAM Publications modeller’s book on the Lancaster, covers the Lincoln (and Manchester too). Datafile No.4

Canopy fitted is as an E-4, but suppose anything is possible. Have all the blueprints and drawings, just a matter of time and plenty of patience.
It was built for Northern Forties re-enactment group who already have a Spitfire 9. Hopefully at a later date other 109s may be built, such is the interest with this one. And of course there is the possibility of a remake of ‘The Battle of Britain’. As we already make Spitfires and Hurricanes, why not the trio?

silver on top! We had wonderful drawings and schematics for the colour scheme created by Steve Rickards, which full of detail made it easier for us to create what you see here. Each colour had at least 2 coats of paint, before the next was added. Attention to detail is paramount and although it isn’t 100% accurate (soon to be rectified), it truly is a work of art!
You say that, but when she was rolled outside yesterday, a number of visitors to CAHC came over and asked when was it going to take off!
Umm dont know. They were sourced by the owner. Will find out for you.
