RR232 fuselage is now re-restored to fully airworthy care of Airframe Assemblies Ltd. The wings are in process.

A Lincoln engine will fit a Spitfire, indeed TE566 flew with the 68a for all its restored flying career. It does need some local adjustment however - length is not the problem.

'EE606' - A new aircraft with a Westlands data plate with no lineage to the original EE606.
