Now that BBMF have ‘unveiled’ the completed AB910 on Facebook, we can share some pics of this fabulous machine.
AB910 arrived at Duxford for rebuild on October 7th 2012. Here she is two days later:
Last Friday saw her out for a compass swing, one of the last tasks before test flight. Some panels not fully fastened:
Yesterday at 1555, the first flight after rebuild:
I can’t help but think that picture of the Spit in front of the wing section could pass as being a picture taken in WW2.. Victor over the vanquished??

Old Warden Saturday 7th February:
There’s a new arrival at Old Warden (Great War den?).
The SE5a replica owned by Oliver Wulff was delivered yesterday from the USA. Built by Jack Kearbey in Tulsa, it first flew as N125QB / D3540 in 2010. It has been de-registered for two years, so may be joining the UK register.
Thanks to Dave Jones, who sent these scans of TFC’s Hellcat on delivery back in 1990. Taken in a layby on the A1 near Wyboston.

Nothing to report from a very chilly Duxford today, except this EC155 a long way from Qatar:
Duxford Sunday 1st February:
Duxford’s other Mess has also been ‘regenerated’ recently. The attention to detail is lacking in only one respect (Spot the error!)
Otherwise a quiet day today. Auster G-APUW departed after a night stop:
Another monopod opportunity:
There was some recent discussion about the regeneration of Duxford’s Northside Officers’ Mess. I was sent this picture from last Wednesday confirming the project is now underway:
