    Had a good day at Duxford today. Shame poor old miss Velma was stuck out in the cold, good close up look at her tho. Good tour of Sally B from Jo. Would share some pictures but you have seen them all Before, plus not sure how to share on here.

    Saw the MK 1 Spitfire mentioned above in the flesh today. She looks fresh off the Battlefield . The scars tell story’s of the bravery them boys had back in the war… Enough said !

    The Manston hurricane LF751 has the same radioactive problem. They have a plastic screen over panel

    the paint looks really good then I suppose she has been indoors nearly 70 years. Funny how you have an early Spit in a later scheme, and BM597 wearing early green and brown. I hope they put R6915 in the BIB exhibition for a while.

    With the radiation – how can instruments in say, P7350 be any different to those in this Spit?
    Thanks for posting

    P7350 instruments im guessing would of been replaced with more modern gear.. I’m only guessing as I don’t see any BBMF pilots glowing in the dark 🙂

    Yep they are all at Biggin Hill. Iv been on a couple of hanger tours. You get up close to the aircraft. The guys are great. They even offer a sit in a spitfire. Even a display by one of the Mk 9 spits has happened in past

    Just been reading up on The Spitfire. She moved straight from RAF service in 1946 and stayed at Lambeth ever since. I actualy agrea that she should be left well alone. Just a little TLC . Other than that how original can you get???

    Lets not polute this thread with the Burma Spitfires ****e, otherwise i may have to kill someone.

    Rob

    Why?

    We discus other aircraft not DX related.

    Because there is a perfectly tedious thread elsewhere to discuss that topic – Mods
