No, very different to TD248 and very different to before.

Please say shiny silver….

That would be a lot of spitfire to polish!

Shocking weather at Duxford today.

Only noticeable movements today was the catalina doing practice landings and departing early afternoon, and an unspectacular arrival of the horsemen in a Nissan Qashqai!!!

Lots going on in hangar 2 though! Makes you realise the amounts of work that it takes to maintain these old birds.

Catalina moving like a spitfire over hornchurch heading towards Biggin hill this afternoon. Blowing a gale at the time!

Great shots as always gents!!

Only a matter of time until the wildcat gets air under its wings. Out of curiosity, how is the hellcat progressing?

Great pics mr Dorst!! That’s one type I really want to see, let’s hope Jerry allows a few displays before it leaves.

Any update on either of the FW190s – the silver ex Tom Blair example, or the ex French example that ditched in the med??

Great stuff as always. Seeing ground up restorations and the craftsmanship that goes in, really makes you appreciate these a whole lot more!

Any idea what spitfire had an engine run David?? Was it AR213??

Wasn’t this the cursed tempest??

Shocking news. Terrible:(
