Sums Steve up well Bruce
My other half’s only seen Steve on a few occasions and say’s its spot on.
computers were the devils work – Black Magic and sorcery
I remember “Porn Wars” well – “put me off my pie once”
Many projects, museums and groups benefited from Steve’s input
He’ll be missed

Having built this tempest V cockpit frame, i don’t see a lot of specific tempest parts
So have these Spitfire parts actually come off a MK12? If not it confirms the point Im making if you collect a series of parts together and ‘decide’ on a chosen aircraft I.e. A Typhoon with a Tempest cockpit frame,Sea Fury fuselage it doesn’t make it a Typhoon even if those parts could fit on.
The cockpit frame isn’t Tempest, the firewall/bulkhead is Typhoon, as are both the front and rear spars
Hi,
Its mounted on a section of the pilots armour plate behind the seat
