Picture Post.

Chugalug,

I must say that I was astounded myself when I managed to copy the Bond picture from your Post. But that's the easy bit ! It's likely to be some time before I get round to being able to scan and transfer pics into my laptop (in dock at the moment). But thanks for the detailed and helpful advice !

This is a particularly useful picture as it shows the massive cast alloy twin-wishbone rig which carried the power unit and front wheel assembly. The thing was really an articulated vehicle, in which this almost stand-alone tractor unit dragged along the rest. And - as pulse1's pal's Bull Terrier found out - it can be whipped across very smartly, the side cut-outs are very low, and Newton's First Law reigns supreme !

Yes, I can see the point in gathering in all the real Spitfires - they're far too valuable to be left lying about. Even so, Bentley Priory ! Is nothing sacred ?

Danny.
