Oakey contact..

If you are calling Oakey,get in touch with Greg Beard.He is the assistant curator there and can get the info for you..I won,t be back out there till next Sunday..Good hunting…Betchya it,s green:dev2: ..

Probably duely reinforced though…

IIRC there was an option to build the Highback frames as well via the top/bottom method instead of the port/starboard.The fuse shape is the same,high and lowback from the datum line down.Only way I could get the F12 inner profile for our frames when I was designing it was to use the lowback pressing drawing.
Yes the skin is quite thick on the leading edge.I had the chance to examine a real one on Friday and was conversing with my new boss on how we could wheel it..But thats a loooong way down the track..
Real planes have props…:p

Might have to bite the bullet and comprimise..

Get some good pics and measurements and hoik them over to Dave who is doing the Spit V cockpit section.He does brilliant repro bits of panel bits and pieces.Tell him I sent you and offer him an ale.:D

LoL JDK..

Ahh but you see mate up here on the range we have known to have 4 seasons in one day as well.
Very tropical up here at the moment during the day but cold and windy at nights.Very dry up here as well,we don,t get much rain at all..:( Will match your blue skies and raise you a cloud…:D

Best place to see blue skies is Auss….:eek:
Unless it,s NZ…:p
Melbourne is at least cleaner than Sydney…And less smelly…;) Sorry to all Sydneyettes.:diablo:

Yes life changes..

For all the bad times that one goes through in life there is always a window of hope that grabs your attention and help you overcome all.Best of luck to your new found freedom…Down here it all looks like madness…But so much fun….:diablo:

The pain…

Stop trying to brainwash me with all these pretty Mustang pics ….:D
Very nice all the same gov….:p

How many remain of remains??

I know the Alpine Fighter collection had substantial remains early 2000ish.And I think there are more bits around England as well.Anyone got a list??:confused:

All that matters….

Replica or not,original percentage I,m not going to argue about..That is one damn nice looking aeroplane and congratulations to all involved.I might have a fetish about WW2 aircraft but the WW1 period really makes a mark on you.I can remember the first Biplane I saw being built and that was as a snot nosed apprentice at QANTAS when Ross Woodcock was building the Avro 504 replicas.Can still remember the smell of woodshavings and the sawdust “everywhere”….:D
