    Part numbers ending ’59 would appear to be ‘brake gear’

    Michael

    G-ILDA and G-CCCA, loaned from Arco.

    Thought one of them may have been “The original 2 seater” T8, MT818 i think,seeing as the owner has a connection with goodwood !!

    saw these 2 along the coast from Chester to Anglesey direction at 1025
    ,and the Spitfire returned at 1245 low level …loverly in the sunshine…especially the growl…
    the Chippy was in a blue colour scheme,any help with id,s appreciated…
    regards
    jack…

    I expect spit was PT462 seeing as its based in North Wales.

    I thought first pic looked like elevator rib but maybe tailplane.

    Excellent links!

    That perspective is deceptive; I wouldn’t have said the far column was that close to the fuselage or that the far wing would fit behind it!

    I’m guessing the Spitfire is without engine and with a false propeller fitted (because no shaft to hang it from)?

    HI all,if you look at Mark 12’s photo the rack underneath the tail looks like it has a merlin in it.

    Hi there
    These are the photo’s as requested. Seems like it would make a good template for a repro door.

    Looks servicable to me !

    The 109E that Craig Charleston’s restoring? (actually just hoping someone has news of progress!)

    Is Craig doing one at the moment ?

    TD314 must be in the reckoning ?

    Hi woodbridge10, would think thats a tad optomistic.
