Elvington Argus

Peter,

The Argus we are re-building at Elvington in almost finished externally, including paintwork excepr for the port wing, which should be finished in about 4 weeks time

We will be fitting the wings in the spring and it will be rolled out and dedicated to one of our patrons, Lettis Curtis, who flew with the ATA, we are praying that she will still be alive for the event as she is now in her 90's

Our Argus was based with the ATA at Whitchurch nr Bristol, a wartime and postwar BOAC Base

Once placed in the T2 hangar, we will be continuing work on the interior which we hope to have finished by the end of the year

Best Wishes

Mac
