    Five blade assembly by virtue of the the other four blade numbers painted in the data circle at the base.

    Mark

    Not many (any) other types running five blade wood props, must be Spitfire/Seafire. Where is ‘Annarac’?

    After their show at Rygge (NO), P-51D “Big, Beautiful Doll” and the TFC’s Buchon

    More likely Spitfire Ltd’s Buchon!

    Which is the bob 2 seat conversion MK1, which was part of a proposed museum (which somebody on here told me was none of my business) which I was really interested in?

    Neither – the 2-seat is more of an idea/intention than an ongoing project. All the three aircraft currently being progressed at HRL are single seaters.

    What is the serial number of the very first Spitfire to enter RAF service?

    Is this a quiz?

    AR213 is currently receiving finishing touches following the succesful engine runs. I would expect first flight to be in September, followed by a trip back to the paint shop at Turweston to complete the paint scheme.

    She will initiallly be presented in the authentic JZ-E (57 OTU) scheme (without the nose stripes).

    Hi,

    I believe Hawker Hurricane Mk I G-ROBT (P2902) is also at Hawker Restorations.

    Cheers

    Yes it is and will be one of two further airframes to be finshed once G-HHII has flown.

    I would think that would be a very good candidate.

    Certainly is – its full steam ahead on G-HHII to get her ready for next summer.

    Nobody seems to have taken any photos of the Hangar 11 aircraft in the Beachy Head area – anyone?

    Bottom left looks like a bit of the forward belly skin under the cockpit where the slipper tank connects. Is that a wheel nut top right?
