Afternoon all,
Today My wife and I were delighted to visit the workshop. It was a massive pleasure to see for myself the wonderful projects being worked on in the flesh.
A special thanks to Chumpy for showing us around. Very very much appreciated.
Cheers

On Dutch auction site Marktplaats.nl a frame 11 is for sale. Possibly from a Dutch Spit. It has some damage but is mostly complete.

Didn’t a Heinkel III crash there too? Some types had fishtail exhaust.

The last two photographs show part of an observer type parachute, are there any missing crewmembers still aboard?

Looks like the dome has corroded away. Trolly Aux, doesn’t the P&W R-1830 have a different reduction gearing?

My guess is B-17. My knowledge of P&W or Wright reduction gearing is a bit rusty.

Yesterday it was on Dutch national news that several political parties want to have all wrecks with missing aircrew or UXB recovered, which is a very very good sign compared to the usual official opinion. Let’s see what happens.
I hope for this project that they continue until the missing airman is found.

The C Mk VIII and C Mk VI were Hercules powered and fitted with an improved fuelsystem and there would be no more room for wingbays.
The cargo freight pannier was lowered to the ground as a complete unit and after loading winched back up again.
IMHO this is a makeshift improvised means of transporting truncated Spitfire fuselages probably using an Mk II series 1 Special.

And the two Furies underway in the UK, one at Brooklands and the other one by the Cambridge Bomber and Fighter Society. Aren’t both using substantial wreckage?
