Brendon invited me over for a look-see today, how could I refuse? biggrin.gif He also gave me the go-ahead to paste any pics the forumites may wish to see, so enjoy! I'm sorry for the large amount of pics, but these are the select few of the 150 or so I took that I felt were good enough to post.














I was left speechless, this honey is so original and accurate, it really is a true testament to Greg and the ITL team's workmanship. This is a seriously good restoration.

Engine runs in the coming week, and, barring any serious issues, flight soon dependent on pilot availability and weather. WOO!

Bring on Omaka!

History? Where do I start! Service with the RAF, Israelis, Italians and Burma, check out Brendon's site for a full history of this amazing machine.

Factory fresh is about right! Even the reflector gunsight is working!
