Yes, we are looking for early ejector type exhausts, or drawings to replicate them.

Antti,
I have sent a PM on a different but related matter.
Regarding the exhausts, I assume you might already have tried Hawker Restorations and Retro Track and Air?

[QUOTE=Not flying – but in the Zadorozhny Museum in Moscow……
The plaque in front of it reads……
This particular aircraft was found in the area of so-called ‘Neva Patch’ in 2008. The fighter was piloted by Aleksandr Fedorovich Myasnikov (born on 09.09.1909), who fought at the Leningrad Front and was killed in the air combat on 11 September 1942. A.F. Myasnikov was born in Mashinsky area of Novgorod region, during his Air Force service had 315 combat missions and shot down 18 enemy planes. He was awarded with the Order of Lenin and two Orders of Red Banner.

Not an easy aircraft to photograph with that pillar in the way! It’s marked up as BN233. Was it at one time in RAF colours as AP740 (looks like the outline of a roundel under the wing in one shot)? Any idea if BN233 is its real identity?

Prestwick

Try “Lion Rampant & Winged – a commemorative history of Scottish Aviation” by Alan Robertson. I believe it was privately publish and is effectively a history of Prestwick airport.

The ‘outer plate’ without the extra hole (top left ‘bulge’ in your photo) will be from a MkI. The one in your photo is from the MkII configuration.
The basic frame was the same, but you are just entering the zone where things changed to accommodate the extra length of the Merlin XX

Airworthy or non airworthy?

If you make Bayeux, look up at the latin inscription on the memorial which translates (wikipedia’s version) to, “We, whom William once conquered, have now set free the conqueror’s native land”. What a profound statement and one which adds an extra dimension to the impact of those graves laid out before it.
