    Good question ozplane, I am interested to hear how it’s going with it and also will it be flown by Martin Phillips? Considering that he has put so much into it to get it airworthy I hope that he will fly her.

    Hi Benoit, I’ve got a Kestrel handbook but I don’t think that it would be indepth enough as it’s not anything like an AP1416, i.e. no good for a rebuild. Incidentally are you restoring just the Kestrel or is there an airframe aswell?. Good luck, hope someone comes up with the manuals for you.

    Indeed, it could be one of two, but it isn’t a MkIV!

    I only went by what was in the article, thanks for clarifying that Bruce

    Andy the Mosquito is a B IV Bomber version DZ542. Re the Spitfire rebuild, that “book” is a couple of years old now and things may have changed since it was published.

    That’s great, thanks for posting Ant.H. I went to a talk given by the one brother at Shobdon LAA strut evening and he gave a very interesting talk about it and slide show.

    Well there’s always a market for another Spitfire book Paul1867, lets hope it was a premonition.:)

    Not that I know of.:apologetic: Thank you for pointing out my error Sopwith which I have corrected, I shouldn’t post so late at night!:apologetic:

    I did, of course, mean P9374 the plane that is being auctioned.

    But, hey, maybe it was a premonition.

    Is an autographed copy of THE book going to come with N3200 at the auction?

    Is there a book on N3200 now?
