Certainly does have a 'period' feel to the pic

Lovely job done there :)

That is just a promise for the future. What a marvellous piece of restoration! I hope someone will take the time to make video for youtube of the first flight from startup to shutdown.

I last saw the complete sequence at Exeter airport just after the making of "633 Squadron."
