Mick,

It is true, it weighs about 22kg or something in that direction. I have never understood why it had to be so heavy, prehaps it had something to do with safety in case of the aircraft overturning (remember black six). Even Paul Day commented on it being bloody heavy, when he was sitting in the cockpit of black six and comparing it to the Spitfire's.

But it is a part of history now so we have to accept it won't we?
