Our Provost ex-Burmese air force gets the prop and spinner re-installed and is getting closer to the day when it is wheeled into the museum.

John,
How did you get a Provost out of Burma?
How long have you been restoring it? I didn't see it when I had a "backstage" tour two years ago.

I42, the Provost came to us via Brendon Deere who also got a Spitfire (not one of "those Spitfires") from Burma several years ago.
It was in a container in NZ for 15 years before it came to us and might have been in the container here when you called by.

not one of "those Spitfires"
Yes, it looked distinctly three-dimensional when I had the pleasure of marshaling "AL" at Tauranga two years ago.
However, not as much pleasure as when I flew in Doug Brooker's Tr IX the next day. :ok:
