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."

Well I expect my friend Barry Gillingwater in NZ will keep me updated on its progress and I'll report back here.

Hi Peter.
Have you ever flown multi prop engined aircraft?
