First class job!

Looks stunning.

Thanks CC for keeping us up to date on the paint job progress.

Mark V, did you have a hand in this one? Oh, and nice meeting you at OW.

When you speak to Peter next, tell him I have some video of his Spitfire display, but haven’t been able to edit it, as I’ve been having troubles with my PC. 😡

Cheers

Any progress on the Cazenove Mk I? Never knew about the French XI. Substantial remains or dataplate.

Not that I mind that.

Cees,

This is the former Shuttleworth, Roland Frassinet, WoGB & Justin Fleming owned PL983, which tragically crashed at Rouen in 2001.

Not much left that resembled a Spitfire or looked salvageable after the impact (& subsequent fire) from what I saw of the wrecakge on the news reports, but I’m sure one or two airworthy Spits have been rebuilt from a lot less!

Cheers

Paul

One thing is for sure and that is the fact that all Display Authorised pilots across the world who view this forum will grieve for those who mourn. They will also have taken this tragedy as a chance to mentally review their own display profiles for any sign of a similar problem. Forewarned is forearmed.

Cheers,

That seems to be what the chap from Aero News.net is saying in their video report of this tragic accident.

Rob Davies BBD heading south this evening around 7 o’clock.

I thought I heard the sound of a Merlin earlier this afternoon, but got out side too late to see anything.

The FW190 and the Buchon are still on the IWM site list?

But just to warn everyone due to the recent terrorist attacks there will be random vehicle searches.

Three failed car bomb attempts and the terrorists still seem to have won! :rolleyes:

Great stuff!

She looks much better with the DH prop and external armour windscreen.

And the paint job ain’t to bad so far either! 🙂

Looking forward to seeing her take to the air again soon.

Well so much for Glacier Girl reaching England then… 🙁

From the ASB Operation Bolero HQ Forum:

MISSION UPDATE:

We’ll post a video update as soon as we can but here’s the unfortunate situation.

Glacier Girl’s attempt to complete her mission has ended for now. She will remain in Goose Bay while Miss Velma continues on to England. It is human spirit to never give up and the team is now focused on completing Bolero for the Mustang.

It’s a little crazy right now, but I just talked with Ed. He’s at 5500 feet, 34 min to LOACH. Rod Lewis, Steve and John Hinton are in the Pilatus. Flight of two.
More shortly.

Deb Mitchell

Such a shame. 🙁

Lets hope ED & Miss Velma have a safe journey to DX.

Cheers

Paul
