I think Sunny is a she (though it is hard to tell!!!) 😉

Hi all

Seeing as how you are all such nice people I scanned the prints I borrowed from Scott Bridge who was in the chase plane and he is happy for me to post them. Please remember Scott didn’t have access to professional equipment so the pics he took are great in that context. There are no other images of the first flight so these are very special and depict the P40 and Spit – both in Bobby Gibbs colors.

Regards

PS just blew out the sensor with a clean can of air and all is well.Thanks for the advice.

Mike J – off next month with 60 containers in tow – weird experiance buying them – even if it was someone elses money!!

Fantastic shots John, I suppose it is nice to have a correct paint scheme on aircraft, but I personally prefer to see, hear and smell the aircraft flying than be too pedantic about correctness. Pedants don’t tend to be go getters or doers in life….no offence to anyone on this forum meant, but I do appreciate that a huge amount of money, effort and tears have gone into this restoration and that is what is to be applauded.

Ooooooooooh, I feel all faint with all these serious Aeroheads round me! (nearly said airheads… ooops!).

Er… down at the bottom edge of involvement in this forum I’ll be planting veg on my WW1 airfield allotment, finding a day free to take my girlfriend, a Box Brownie and a few rolls of 120 to Old Warden for some serious Old Photography and… and… oh fiddle, I know there was another thing! Ah well….

(oh I know! I’m waiting to find out about the Mk1 Hurricane rebuilt following a crash from great height in 1940! – V7497)

Me thinx you are missing a smiley on V7497!!! 🙂

Find a new home and start my new life as 18months of stuff associated with my unpleasant divorce finally draws to a close! It will be great!

I wish to thank all those on the Forum and in the hobby as it is great and has been a good inspirational thing in my time of need. Holiday greetings to all!

Project wise, a bit of a reduction of some of the projects and concentration on the Spitfire cockpit. Need to find a home for the Hunter T7 cockpit.

Michael Cane please’ Either we take off or blow up!’ 😀
Followed by a quick remake of Zulu, thousands of em!! :rolleyes:

Oh no you can’t if you cannot spell his name right or indeed misquote him :dev2:

How much longer Controller? The engines overheating and so am I…either we stand down or blow up which do you prefer?

Or words to that affect!! 😉

CanadaTD,

Any Halifax bits? :rolleyes:

Cheers

One or two armoured head rests…all gone now 🙁

Yes it is… the culmination of alot of searching for parts etc. I just wish I had more parts for it like throttle box and control wheel….

Very, very nice Peter, well done! 🙂
