Here’s another view of it more side on and taken today. It gives more of a clear view of the angle of the lever. 🙂

Here’s the one we have fitted in P9374, hope it helps you.

What an interesting site and with a wealth of close up pictures as well 😉

I was of the impression it was to be finished in a gloss polyurethane brown/ green cammo with duck egg blue undersides (or was it light aircraft grey?) and post war Bright Blue/Bright Red 3 colour roundels as operated in service at RAF Binbrook with the Central Fighter Establishment. Now try saying that ISN’T an authentic livery for this machine in service…

Actually both companies are working on it, why do you so adamantly state “It’s either one or the other”? You seem to presume a lot, for someone not actually in the building…

That was the last flight for the Buchon for this year. She’ll now be tucked up in the warm for the winter. The Howard 500 has always been an elusive aircraft and for many years lived at Exeter and never ventured out. Nice to see it at DX after all these years. Would make a cracking “Executive-Duo” with the tri-gear Beech 18 from North Weald:)

“HFL/ARCo have Spitfires and Seafires”… you don’t say? I was there all day and didn’t notice. All that took my eye was the glamourous new tug:D
