Another photo has surfaced among my late uncle’s papers.
I don’t know anything about it. There are no notes written on the reverse.
The only aircraft that I recognize is the Spitfire, that looks like a late model PR variant.
Any/all comments warmly welcomed.

That’s an interesting photo. I’ve never seen a Martinet with checker-board markings on the engine cowling. I wonder what the colours were? Tim Bishop – have you seen this?
Hi Dave,
First of all, congratulations to your team for securing a Sabre engine. This is a massive achievement, and to see this happen so soon after the public launch event, is a real boost.
The fuselage appears to be mostly there from the tail joint forward, right through to the engine mounts. I understand the project has a large amount of drawings to reference now. Are all of the drawings there to make the complete tail unit, and forward cowlings?
What is the plan regarding re-creating the wings? Do the drawings contain the co-ordinates for the ribs, or can you scan the RAFM example and reverse-engineer the shape in CAD?
Do you have any photo’s you could share for the undercarriage legs?
Once again, superb effort all round!
