Tony,

Just to let you know that I am involved in the restoration of Black Magic (my first attempt at a web site). The address is www.cometracer.co.uk.

The build is coming along well...with the fuselage just about to have its covering finished and the wings started.

Looking for any info on some of the paint scheme and where the name came from and any history with the portugese....anyone know anything?

Also working on a Typhoon cockpit section for display at the local airfield (900 were broken up there in 1947) in recognition of the pilots, ground crew and aircraft...can anyone help with anything on this project? Plans, parts or possible location of recovery project?
