Yuck! Sorry, i know these guys mean well and they have done a great job in preserving this airframe for future generations, but, its a bit of a bodge-it-and-scarper by the looks of things!

Oh well, as i say, at least it is being preserved, unlike some of the now ‘relics’ we have over here.

Back to the Firefly… i always preffered the shape of the later marks to the Mk.1.
WB271 was a beautiful machine. That is the Firefly shape most familar and visually pleasing to me. AS.5 was the designation IIRC?

Thats amazing! Imagine popping down a local pub and finding a second world war aircraft hanging from the ceiling! 😀

I know that there is a substantial part of a twin engine (Beech 18 looking) aircraft at a bar in Bognor Regis. (don’t ask! ):p

You stand at the bar ordering your drink, and there it is, staring you in the face, quite an architectual feat in my book!

Can’t think of the name of the bar though, anyone care to admit going to that part of the world? 😀 😀

Have these fools got nothing better to do on a saturday afternoon?
😡 😡 😡

now where’s that ignore button…oh yes…:p

Well surely the wright brothers got first, second, third and fourth flight! 😀
Don’t know about 5,6,7,8,9 or 10 though!

Hmm, i am sure there is someone on this forum who is at least a 100 years old that might be able to tell us?

Any takers?;)
