K5054 nose over was a fatality due to the harness being pulled back due to inadequate bracing structure behind the seat.Production Spitfires had reinforcing at F11 and cross bracing added under the aerial.
Nose overs are still very scarey and glad the pilot got away unscathed..

They could not get the engine roll out stand. The Pakistan AF would not lend them one, and the only one in Australia is the RAAF museum and they refused to let the guys take photos and measurements. So the guy gave up and donated it to HARS. We are pretty backwards in warbird restoration help in Australia…..

We are slow learning I think..

Seriously mate is the anything you dont have!!:eek:

Looks like two P51,s mated with a B17 yoke 😛

Finding MIA,s is something the USA strives hard for..

That’s a hell of a haul, QldSpitty. What did you manage to identify?

Spitty stuff,P40 stuff,P51 stuff and one or two Boomer bits…
