!!!!!!!!!!:rolleyes:

You ain’t seen nothing yet!!;)

Posting the link was good but the other answers……..

Absolutly superb. Photo’s are really good. Hard to believe this is only about 500yards away from us at the museum!!

Great stuff!!;)

I’ve heard that a B17 called SallyB will be there and a Lancaster called ‘Phantom of the Ruure’, however you spell it, will also be attending and a Mustang called Frankie and another Mustang called Princess Elizabeth will also be there!!

Can’t wait:diablo:

Realistically, being in the restoration trade myself and painting quite a few airframes at Midland Air Museum, matching the true colours of aircraft is very hard.

Unless you have the proper spec. paint charts and the right equipment to mix these colours, you will never get a proper match, so you have to go with the closest style possible. The design of the scheme can be duplicated very accuratly providing you have the right referances, but you’ll never be able to match the colours, unless you can spend a fortune trying to match it, you have to go with what you can.

It could be a Dewoitine…the canopy looks set back to me and the angle of the photo makes the wing look thicker than it possibly is…..

Indeed she is. First prototype was G-ARYA and third prototype, G-ARYC, is preserved in much more complete form at Salisbury Hall.

I was lead to believe that G-ARYA and G-ARYB were both the first and second prototype airframes. Their was no third prototype airframe as such.

G-ARYC was the first pre-production Series 1 airframe, which had played a major part in the development of the Viper engine.

It is right what Les has said about us working on G-ARYB. It is intended to be used as a demonstrator for schools. Work is still going on frantically, but she is coming on fine.
