It’s funny I thought SH Snr from the initial photos too. It’s not though.

Good news on the crane, the quicker that’s away from our charming travelling community the better !

I hope someone is standing guard over her tonight .

A startling set of photos that show the damage appears worse than I imagined, check out the starboard wing.

Look how fast the spit was turned around.

The Spit was repaired quickly because it’s a moneymaker.
The 2 seat Spitfire and warbird passenger flight operations are big business, people aren’t as poor as that grey beard old tramp will have you believe.
For example,’Miss Helen’ has two lucky passengers next week at 2400 a pop. If the gorgeous ‘Miss Velma’ was in the passenger ride business she’d be getting hauled out of the field as we speak.

I went to Duxford yesterday and had a lovely day but never relax until the weekend is safely concluded.
The pilot did a wonderful job and yes it could have been far worse.
Look forward to the day ‘Miss Velma’ gets flying again.

I did wonder if one of the other P51’s would be drafted in as replacement.
Judging by the run in it had the makings of a great solo! Glad Nick is ok and BE not too badly damaged.

Many thanks Bob !
