So this means that the caption is wrong? is this in fact a Tempest MKV?

...well I might be wrong but I think it is a MKV, I've been staring at 693 for long enough to recognise the firewall similarities between her and the section in the pic. Have you got any more pics Dave? especially of the rear end? as that Armour plate looks VERY familiar although it's now sporting a flashy new interior green paintjob ;) Some of the parts I've worked on look like they came from and auction so I wouldn't be surprised if some of the bits from the one in the pic were sold on. Does anybody know of the whereabouts of this cockpit section now? We could do with copying some of the parts if they were available as 693 is basically a bare hulk with an engine. BTW Dave did you get my e-mail a few weeks ago concerning the measurements of the fuselage tubes?
