Yes, that's right. The wings were jobbed-out in England, and came back to the hangar in Gatineau in November, but still needed work. (That's the short version.) They'll be done this winter. I don't know the status of the rest of the bits. The building for the Spitfire, in Comox, has been expanded, and there will an Unveiling on Jan 20, I believe.
Also, BTW, the wings for our Hurricane XII are complete and in the hangar.
Other news: there will be a series of our "Warbird U" Groundschools this winter, which are actual, hands-on, learn-with-the-pilots initial and recurrent training sessions. We'll teach the Harvard, Mustang, Spitfire, F-86 and Swordfish. These are very in-depth presentations supported by hundreds of slides, plus taught by a pilot who actually flies the aeroplane.
We'll have a Formation Camp on 10-12 May. Lots of aircraft flying in a total mission-oriented setting.
Then 4 of our Yellow Wings airplanes will tour the Maritimes: Tiger Moth, Finch, Cornell, Harvard.
The Stearman will go west all season (Alberta), and the Mustang for at least a month.
Our 2012 theme of "Warbirds of the Med" will have the Kittyhawk, Spitfire, and Hurricane -- and Swordfish --appearing at airshows within about 400 nm of Ottawa. (That's me!)
The Lysander will also take a tour to the Maritimes, we hope.
And the big end-of-season Air Show and Fly In is spread to 3 days, primarily Sept 15 and 16, and tied into the Battle of Britain flypasts with the CWH Lancaster.
Lots of fun!
