I was in Le Fertais after the accident. I asked one of the pilots if the Skyraider pilot was ok and he said he was, but seemed to put the blame with Rob Davies. I didn’t pursue the conversation.
The Mk.IX also has about 10.365″ longer nose, ‘cos its Merlin has a two stage supercharger. The stretch occurs between the back of the engine and Frame 5, the firewall.
Do AB910 or P7 currently fly with a IX nose profile?

It actually wasn’t in PR Blue, the colour was Landrover blue grey with a splash of more blue added to it so it didn’t look like Landrover blue grey 😀
And of course the inside would have been landrover green. The light green used on landrovers was originally leftover interior green from the aircraft industry.
I might be in the area next spring and see if I can sneak a look at it. Looks great from 95% of angles although at 17:59 it does briefly change into an Anson. I still think it’s wonderfull.
Tornado fuselage on low-loader in Hitchin. The driver was asking for direction and there is a breakers around the corner. Have heard mention on here that’s where they go to die.

As someone from the next village (where John Romain went to junior school), I can tell you that the Spitfire on the advertising is rarely the same as the one that turns up, but who cares as long as it’s a Spitfire.
