Its worth remembering that only 957 MK14’s were built, so it will be interesting when the reported number exceeds that amount!

Notice the background landscape? nothing right up to the horizon but grass, no wonder its been left alone it looks like its in the middle of nowhere.

This is old technology really, its been around a long time, I’ve been doing this stuff since 1989, we are all probably no further than 20 miles from somebody with this capability.

Anyone know how many ‘C’s exist airworthy or otherwise?

Trouble is its alright being an armchair preservationist, but if they had said if you want it come and get and I want it off the premises in a weeks time. How many people would actually have moved to save it?

I thought that may be the chain of events regarding the sky raider . I saw the fire crews squirting the ground near it, but I had Sally B in the way.

Regarding spitfire take off for balbo, I only caught the back end of it. But what you said makes perfect sense.

Display of the day…. French fury 🙂

No the fuel spill was the French sea Fury, I was right behind it, a lot of fuel suddenly gushed out of the starboard wheel well, while a mechanic was up on the fuselage, we thought it was water at first due to the lack of panic initially, then the fire crew came over and sprayed over the fuel. Some sort of release valve perhaps?

Can anyone help with leads as to where I can purchase some please?

Thanks

Wreckage of a Hurricane recovered some while ago from Russia has been recently examined and the number Z2507 emerged painted on the inside of the spinner.

It was a former 601 Sqn machine that went to Russia 8 Sept 1941, but is anything else known?

I take it its not this
