Hi Tom.....and all !
Is it true that AR213 is being rebuilt over the next four/five years into it's original early Mk Ia "from factory" spec.
This would include new canopy with knock-out panel and flat sides, new external armour windscreen, de Havilland three blade metal prop, three-stub exhausts etc ?
Will it be using new spars as well ?
And....the one that everyone has probably wanted to know for years (?).................
Will it be painted in it's 57 OTU "Jumper" colours, with the ever so patriotic red, white and blue stripes around the cowling ?
Can't wait to see that one if it happens.......
Yours Optomistically
Mick
