Could it be a C3078?
Widely used….Spits had 3 of them.Drop tank,prop pitch,carb air.
Looks like a G series at a glance…
Sort of.Its a scale model plus a full scale cockpit section built from surviving drawings..
They did it with Dc3,s and Pegusus made a composite Spitfire with a Turbine.
A long time coming this restoration.Lovely work.
Vickers General Spares.There is a list for the early 30,s but havent found one for the later 30,s and early 40,s till they changed to AGS.
Be nice to find a later VGS parts list as well…
Not a left over Spanish War roundel?
Didnt wing leaders use different markings?
Ooowww…
Almost up to date.With Bob Eastgate passing away last year I think things have been moved around here in Australia..From Brenden S
