Just years of collecting old chap!! The Defiant plate (unfortunately) is the lovely Patent plate marked up with the legend 'DEFIANT'. Typhoon wise will take a little longer as I only have the Gloster A/C number (as yet).

Unfortunately, my Hurricane project needs to have at least 75% original parts in it for me to be happy.

All back burner stuff.

Now where did I put my fabric from the Red Barons Fokker, sure we could get that rebuilt quite quickly!! (Only kidding, I dont have any fabric from that aircraft!!)

Unfortunately Cowley is no good anymore. The plant has been hugely redeveloped by BMW, indeed, all the wartime buildings (some that even had original camouflage paint) have all been destroyed by a new generation of Germans!
