Walrus

I remember being shown around a Walrus being restored at Charles Church's grounds many years ago - along with the spitfire being built

I seem to think it was re-located up north some time ago

I this machine still being re-built to fly as originally planned?

It's G-RNLI owned and being restored by Charles Church's Mr Spitfire, Dick Melton, somewhere in Norfolk I believe. There has been some discussion on another site about the project being for sale.

Whatever, I seriously hope that it gets finished and flies in the UK - what a wonderful sight that will be!
