Hi Cees,

Let me answer the first question you asked below (Spitfire being displayed outside). At this moment the folks at ambala do not have an enclosed shelter for display that could take the aircraft in. So they built up a platform and displayed it. They are keeping the aircraft covered with tarps and would display it only on cermonial days (important visits etc). When i took pictures - i had to get the tarps removed.

One of the Hurricane wings (the one you probably saw propped up against the wall without any metal skinning) is now locked up and kept by the organisation in bangalore. They seemed to have painted the whole wing with primer or white paint and its now stored behind lock and key. No idea as to what they are planning to do with it.

The second case where we saw the Spitfire and Hurricane wing together - I have no clue at all. Basically the person whom i made contact on this and who gave me the picture has dissappeared off the scope altogether. So I am in the dark right now.
