I was about to ask what the story is behind the pic – is it pictured mid-restoration?

nope – that’s N2394 before it received much needed loving care and subsequently was put into a closed building

That’s interesting, never realised Bald Eagle had a fixed tailwheel.. Learn something new every day

wasn’t always so…. Well spotted, Chris !

I will be at La Ferté – so the Spit will better show up, too !

hello,
I know,it is not a Net site but do you have read the excellent Peter Celis’s book “Runways to victory “? It’s about Belgian airfields and Allied Tactical fighters operations 1944-1945 edited by MARHAV publications .

I have that great book, too – bought it from Peter directly – can get you in touch if desired.

Cheers
Martin
