Spitfire 161 Restoration

There's a photo in the latest Aeroplane magazine of this Spitfire T.9 (now registered G-CCCA) at Duxford, in full Air Corps colours (green overall) and markings.  It looks very well and has the raised rear cockpit as it had in Air Corps service.

Actaully, if you guys go to Easons you might still be able to get the Fly-Past magazine cover dated May 2004  (but in stores now! as they say).
It has a Wildcat on the cover. Inside is a 3 page feature on this restoration as well as a 2 page article on the other 5 ex-IAC Tr.9's that survive today. Some very good photos.
They're towards the back of hte magazine.
Also check out www.historicflying.com

And the spitfire prints I am working on are coming along nicely. Some personal matters have had to be dealt with, but shall be knuckling down to them again soon.

I haven't had time to scratch myself lately. With The Postal strike, moving house, decorating said house. etc etc. The Prints have taken a bit of a back seat for the last month.

Also my net access has been severely reduced!!
