I’d like to join in with a ghostly Spitfire as well, but I only have a ghastly one !
I hope she does not end up too shiny and restored, thus looking like all the other restored and shiny B-17s.
After 4 pages of waffle, we have waited quite long enough for some photographic evidence of this wayward DC-3.
‘Oh.., the humanity ! ‘
-9 tonight in Chilly Chesham ! ( sorry for the thread drift)
A guess, rather than knowledge.

No wonder you fit in so well round here. 😉
Taunton looks ‘so bracing ‘ !
Sshhhhhhh……..don’t move-there it is again ! :p
The storys that window alone could tell. Glorious photo.
Not much sadly. It’s an open and closed case.
A bit of a pane, really.
Wow, that’s quite something !
I sense that the cameraman was just getting whatever footage he could, rather than the flight formating for the camera, hence the high proportion of angles from rear 3/4, which though interesting, is not visually ideal.
Still, very atmospheric.
Why is it necessary to include a Cessna jet crash at Birmingham in the same story? :rolleyes:
It’s cos them Cessnas is all well dodgy innitt ?
It looks rather like a relative of the Tiger Cub microlight, which appeared in the 1980’s, and then disappeared again. That was designed by Russ Light, who went on to design the much more appealing Sherwood Ranger
This one just 4 days old.
Try riding a bicycle with your arms crossed to grip the opposite handlebars.
Once you have fallen off (which you will ), your understanding of the Tudor captain’s problem will be greatly enhanced.
Some of the the UK restorations have been VERY extended, no doubt for good reasons.
The Duxford Beaufighter springs to mind (20 years?) though I think that may now even be on hold. The Percival Q6 has been ‘ in progress’ for even longer.
The Millers’ Rapide started its rebuild in 1977, and emerged only about 3 years ago.
I suppose it is natural that twins take even longer.
It’s a bit scratched.
