Thanks Don, I’m glad you like it. Now that the pages are set up, all the additions are fairly easy – it’s just a matter of geting the contacts for new info, and getting around to updating the pages.
The May update for the Spitfire Mk Vb is now online, and Stu (the webmaster) says new updates on both the Spitfire and Mossie will be online next week covering June 2007
Very nice indeed, well done. An interesting story too.
Thanks Dave. They are a bit behind in the updates
Not really. All of the updates so far have reflected what has occurred a couple of months before. Considering it is Warren Denholm himself who takes the time to photograph and write up all the progress on the various restoration projects in his workshop, I don’t think we have the right to complain that it’s not right up to date. He’s a very busy man. And after all, where else can you see such excellent month by month reports on a restoration of anything, near alone a to-be-airworthy Mosquito?
That Dambusters Lancaster could possibly be flying at a press day rather than an airshow I guess?
Great photo, thanks Pondskater. I’ve never seen photos inside the Short factory before.
Thanks John, that would be great.
Great cutting, thanks James.
Thanks for the details of that magazine too Simon. I’m off to search ebay
Thanks John, I had indeed seen that excellent page. Some nice photos there. There are a lot of photos around like that of them at rest or taking off or flying, but I’m keen to find some closer, more detailed shots.
Hi John, do you know which issue of Scale Models the plans appeared in please? And how I can track them down?
I have been interviewing the last few surviving members of the RNZAF aircrews who flew them operationally in Singapore and Fiji. Fascinating people and aircraft.
Thanks very much.
David Eyre, I had seen most of those links before, but a few were new to me as were the photos within, and the painting. Great stuff. Thanks.
G-ASEA, is there any chance please of gatting a scan of those drawing? Email is [email]dave_daasnz@hotmail.com[/email]
And how did you come by something so rare as a Singapore propellor?
I’m saddened somewhat to announce that this Sunday’s Summer Air Display and PFA Party In The Park at Old Warden aerodrome has been cancelled.
Andy, your website states:
Unfortunately this airshow is cancelled. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Although the formal Shuttleworth Collection airshow is cancelled, the PFA Party in Park element will go ahead as planned.
If its of any interest the Stearman in the film is marked with the name ‘Anderw Flying School’ and registration NC34307. The character names – the student’s name is Davey, and the pilot is Miss Fort. The Japs didn’t attack the Stearman though.
The One That Got Away is an excellent film. Here are a couple of screen grabs of LF363 which has quite a good scene in the film.



And in case it is of any interest, and open Hudson door (NZ2013 at Wigram)
