Is there any evidence that TPM are unwilling to share their jig? I thought the option to purchase the T.43 instead of pushing ahead with the Mk.IV was financially driven and as being dual control offered the opportunity for other pilots to be trained on the type?
I would hope that there is/has been cooperation between the two groups in a similar vein to the Typhoon projects.

Hmm think the asking price for this postcard might be a bit steep

I thought the ops room and blast pens had been victims of the skip?
Always found Gerard Maffett’s Hurricane quite moving with Elgar’s Nimrod stirring the emotions.
Vongold…I’ll say no more.
Walrus G-RNLI was de-registered on the 19th March according to G-INFO
492nd Fighter Squadron? Did they have red chequered noses?
Good to see her restoration is finished. Looks a fine job on first impressions.
While I would love to see some of the aircraft recovered, particularly the TBD, how feasible is it given the depth they are located at?
Did the other 2 seat Buchon/Messerschmitt G-12 ever sell? Was it not up for sale at a similar price?
Whilst I have disagreed with various other decisions by the RAFM over the past couple of years, I do not really see the problem here.
Dear oh dear
There were 2-3 instances where damaged Spitfires landed on French beaches during the evacuation with their undercarriage down and were subsequently destroyed by the pilot. So the film gives a relatively realistic portrayal of such an event in my opinion.
I think there were some armament related pics on Kermit Weeks Facebook of his G6 project.
Not sure why James Holland continues to argue that a Spitfire would not have landed with it’s undercarriage down. It has been proven to him that it happened on 2-3 occasions during the evacuation of France.
