Someone somewhere must’ve paid out a lot of ” Money for nothing” It would seem. 😉
By the way this aircraft has the biggest battery ever shoe-horned into a Spitfire and boy is it a struggle to get it out for cap testing and charging! Huge fuel tank wet wing thing going on as well……..just an excuse for a lot of PRC! Not one of Trent Aero’s finest attempts.

The wet wing mod was not done by Trent Aero. The large battery was installed to try and bring the C of G aft because of the wet wings.

Spey 111 thanks for posting the pictures. Any idea what the plans for the aircraft are?

What’s the Pilots Mess like?
The Aviator Hotel always seems a bit of a hit or miss affair for food, will you be able to get food in the new facilities?

Thanks Dave,

Will they form the basis for a reconstruction?

Cheers

Yes it will, and is currently in progress (albeit slowly).

PS: Always thought it was a bit evil for the local flying school to send students on a land-away (admittedly usually dual) to Fenland, which they do quite often in the summer.

I see nothing changes then. I learnt at EMA mid eighties and remember being sent there on a solo land away. And it was much harder in those days because they didn’t have the long E/W runway (he says in dodery old bloke type voice) 🙂

Aiming to try, if weather – and my ability to find Fenland – allows!

Glad it’s not just me who’s had their moments trying to find Fenland 😮

I cannot understand why she fell in to decline so quickly.
Looking at the website she seemed well cared for, and a lovely new engine fitted not that long ago.
It’s a real shame 🙁

G-ARJB is currently listed for sale on e-bay with a modest starting bid of £6000. Go on Gooney Bird put a bid in 😀
