Here’s hoping that they get things sorted soon, always enjoyed the series they seemed pretty down to earth people (no pun intended ).
That’s a pity if it doesn’t fly, looks great in the Shell colours. Only wish I had the money.
Thank you Mike
Excuse my ignorance, but where do you get a copy in the U.K?
Nice seeing the Miles Kestrel flying too.
Incidentally what happened to all those Spitfires in Burma, are they still looking?:very_drunk:
Thanks Duggy, the pics are interesting.
This has been on the WIX forum for a week or more now.Looks like wishful thinking.
Thank you fellows, at least now I’ve got a bit more idea, appreciated.
I’ve inspected this collection of parts last year, and actually think it would have been cheaper to build a Master. All of the primary structure is wood, and if this is put into the hands of a specialist woodworking team (of which I can think of a couple in the Uk alone) this would be a realistic prospect to see it flying again.
Hopefully these substantial remains can be re-built into a complete airframe again one day.
This sounds quite exciting, has there been anything article wise written about this potential project. I must admit I knew nothing about this one. Great news.
Miles Master 1 for me, realistic now there are a few more flying Kestrels. Failing that I like the idea of a Battle.
Yes totally agree with you on that choice.
That’s a good looking propellor John, very impressive. Incidentally I didn’t know that there was a Mercedes aero engine club. Good luck with your project and please keep us posted.
Hello John, have you tried contacting The Vintage Aviator people in New Zealand?. They may be a good start.
Poor old Edgar, my condolences to his family.
Very sorry to hear this about Edgar, never met him but always enjoyed his posts. Bit of a job to know what to say now really, except that I wish you all the best Edgar.
