Hi,

Steve P thanks for clearing up the confusion I caused myself 🙂

Can anybody say or show how much of the original aircraft is left and will be used in the rebuild is it being kept under wraps for the time being.
Must say that the pictures of EE602 on VMI engineering website are very good, how long doe’s it take for a fuselage to be built?

Regards

Jay

Hi oldgit, on average we take about 12 months to put a fuselage together.This does depend on various factors though ! ie lenght of contract, money & available labour. Usually lenght of contract dictates the other two !!

Just loiter around and Duxford….and perhaps you will!

Dont do much loitering when at Duxford Andy !! only work !!

Steve P

Possibly. With P9374 you got the book and the website. But with N3200 you will get the film! 😉

Well i hope i get a bit part !!

Thanks for the confirmation funny enough I am watching the TV program on the recovery of Bud Wolfes Spitfire IIa P8074 in Ireland at the moment – first time I had the opportunity to see it

glad to see you making an appearance thus confirming my theory that whenever a recovery is televised you are in the programme !

Hope you are Geelong better

Paul, just to avoid confusion I am Not Mr Vizard although I do work for AA. Steve is not too well at the moment and i’m sure everyone here wishes him a speedy recovery.

Its correct !

David the £1.5k included the purchase price !! So about £1 mill for the rebuild. Probable worth ? What some one will pay !! Say £1.8. The more original parts the more you could add to the value !

Steve.
