    Totally agree on the flying nightmare! It looks sooo good!

    Thanks for taking the time to post these great photos. Give my best regards to all those hard working artists! Beautiful stuff!

    Four of my mothers brothers served in Europe. (Canadians)
    They all survived.
    Each was prepared to remuster to go to Japan.
    For reasons we all know, they no longer had to and all came home to raise families. (One with an English war bride 🙂 )

    so has the TFC bought a new toy?…..wasnt this the seafire trucked to oshkosh?…..damn i wish i was going this year.

    and as other have said thank you to all the poster’s on this thread for keeping an Aussie in touch with one of my favorite places on earth.

    Seafire XV PR503 was flown to Oshkosh. It was then flown home and I don’t believe it has flown much since.

    Sorry for the drift. Thanks for posting all of the fabulous photos folks. Much appreciated.

    I woke up to an inch of snow this morning!
    I fly out of Ontario, Canada. The season’s a bit shorter here.
    We’ve had a brutal winter and a particularly cold spring.
    Once this snow melts, it too will have to dry up! 🙂

    I’ve enjoyed a bunch of these videos as well as the original.

    In the next week or two I’m hoping that the strips around here will dry up enough to fly my Tiger.

    Totally itching!

    I’d bet the process to jettison, would be to do it while pitching over. Wing goes up, Hurricane goes down with a healthy dose of throttle for the two to part company,
    If there was film of it I’d certainly like to see it too.
    I can picture that wing fluttering like a dropped, crisp bill, until it got smashed to bits that is 😉

    I think this is a commendable project.
    Assembling all of these bits into a displayable machine of any sort is fantastic.
    Getting one to taxi, or the prospect of flying, is practically moot, given the availability of Napier Sabre engines.
    The only two in private hands belong to Kermit weeks.
    Who knows, given his affinity, for restoring what some would think impossible.

    Great project regardless!

    She was flown quite regularly by Jim Beasley.
    Well looked after too.
    There are far too few Spitfires in the north east part of North America. If she leaves these shores I’ll be sorry to see her go.

    Thanks for those videos. What a brute!

    Whenever I see a Griffon Spit I wonder what R.J. Mitchell would have thought.

    I’m pretty sure that Bruce is referring to newly produced spar tubes.
    I recall an article involving Guy Black rebuilding the machine that bent the polygonal spar tubes.

    A question that I’d like to add is, are the spar tubes for the Hurricane different from those for the Fury?

    Thanks

    I’d say these lads had plenty to age them prematurely.
