Don’t think I have ever seen a picture of Newark Air Museum’s Swift in service before.

Can get the flanges cut out with a waterjet so thats the “work of a moment” & once the dies are made the stamping won’t take long. Then it’s just a matter of welding em up on a fixture…. or 2 or 3……
Fairly straightforward Tiggery pokery 🙂

I think you might find that is a little bit more to it than that; but good look anyway.

A pilot will log flight time from ‘brakes off’ to ‘brakes on’ and that includes taxiing time, which is all considered part of the ‘flight.’ I know some pilots personally who have started up, taxied out to the runway, had a problem, turned back and still logged the 10 minutes or so of taxiing time as a ‘flight’ even though they never left the ground! I guess it’s one of those technicallity things. Anyone got a copy of the CAA rule book? 🙂

Taxi times are not recorded in the aircraft log books.

A pilot may log from brakes off to brakes on in his personnel flying logbook, but in the aircraft logs the block time is recorded i.e. take off time to landing time.
I wouldn’t personally record taxi times in my log book, if for instance I went u/s before takeoff or if I was just taxying to the pumps for fuel.

I have also taxied large commercial aircraft on numerous occasions for testing purposes, and this time is not logged either

I heard it was going to be G-AGOH, previously at Newark.

Isn’t G-AIJK the one hanging up at the Charmwood Museum in Loughborough?

Edit to say according to the Leicester County Council Heritage Services website G-AGOH is still on display at Newark!

How many years ago did it leave??

Back from the dead, albeit for a one off.
