Airic... Isn't the seafire you are referring to the same project which started the CWH rolling in the first place? I find it kind of ironic that the aircraft which started to ball rolling, so to speak, has taken so long to restore. What were the problems involved? Or did they just get distracted by other, much bigger projects (eg. the Lanc). Just wondering, as I would love to see a Seafire in the air some day. Do you have any recent photos of its restoration progress?

Cheers,
Richard
