Yup is true what you say Mr Pope, a classic is a classic , pure and simple , but if you could see the dedication this team put into the work you would be impressed . The wings were from a sold off gate gardian, once very poor condition , the airframe ?... no one really knows apart from built in 1949 from composite parts. The Griffon ..?... saved from the tractor pullin brigade who would blow her up and junk her when she failed in favour of another Griffon to rinse out until they are no more...........
This Baby will
fly, and
fly for the win and the pleasure of the crowd......if I was not scint from my last holiday...I would be packing my tooth brush and mankini just to stand on the flightline at Reno and chear her on ....!!
