Indian -made battledress would also have been supplied as replacement items to any and/or all British and Commonwealth units in-theatre through the supply chain. This forum discussion is also relevant – but also implies that the button on its own surely cannot be used to determine which armed service the clothing originates from.

Obviously didn’t try Soldier of Fortune for the reproduction US Army Small Wall Tents……………..

Quoted without comment

Unfortunately the wing spar fittings were damaged in the move, so symmetry will be out overall and scanning those components won’t provide accurate data. Initially the scan was to be the entire aircraft, with the spar attach fittings being compromised and geometric data available for cowl panels and rear fuselage, it was decided to focus on the wing for this trip.

Ok…that couldn’t have flown by now xD
Are there really no drawings of those aircraft at all?

Well………………

That Hungarian restoration shop seems to have managed with the Norwegian/DTM Ju88s and Mr Harada seems to be getting on quite well with his Mitsubishi G4M Betty so it’s clearly not insurmountable.

My understanding is that the Indian Air Force Historic Flight is ambitious in the medium to long term and will be modelled on the BBMF.

I would anticipate three airworthy Spitfires on the flight eventually….and some surprises.

One of the Poona/Pune Liberators then……………………………..

I seem to recall that BD731 – the Spitfire Spares project, was reduced to produce, and no longer formally exists. I stand to be corrected.

Having browsed the website – much of what originally comprised the project is still available, so I guess if it were bought ‘en masse’ then you might still have a project!

This one you mean?

Do they have a Battle???

They had a cmplete Battle and an extra fuselage didn’t they – the spare fuselage went to St Athan for the rebuild of the RAFM example. The more complete Blenheim went to East Fortune and the second one now forms the basis of the ARC Blenheim rebuilt after the Denham debacle. The Hurricane was lost in the CWH fire in Canada wasn’t it?and the Spits were ML407, MJ772, PV202 and NH904

A few highlights from yesterday – all from the crowdline with a point and shoot compact. No big lenses here!
