DC 3 heading South across the A12 /M25 I take it Aces High departed North Weald for Dunsfold?
Maybe it will be getting a fair bit of TV or film work this year and will be painted for that also The “Daks Over Normandy” / Duxford 75th
some are wearing these https://transair.co.uk/pilots-clothing/helmets-and-goggles/leather-headset-flying-helmet
I am sure someone will make bespoke ones cant be to much of a problem for a good leatherworker
in the cockpit Paul I think on the port side forward of the throttles and before the firewall.
I think there are two data plates, that is the main one and a smaller aluminium one, but that is the brass Makers Plate, Gloster built Hurricanes IIRC had the number also stamped into the end of the port side engine mount
I think this may help answer some questions

I hear Tail to Prop has been recovered
the growly sound of a Pratt & Whitney radial just dispersing the sounds of the crows and Buzzards and the lovely sight of a Stearman doing turns over the A12 Boreham/ Hatfield Peverel Essex and now departed west back to North Weald I am guessing
Great update YR, I am sure when you retire next year you will not keep away from NW in its 80th BoB year.
Well done to Aero Legends for taking over The Squadron, Will it be open for visitors as before?
Also a congratulations Aero Legends for starting Spitfire flights from North Weald a true legend in itself.
Very much looking forward to your updates Scott, Thank you
Great update as per usual this project only goes forward due to you and your teams dedication
but I am guessing that aircraft manufactures in those days were nearer furniture makers :dev2:
cracking job done there John, I do love this project
