I threw in the pic of the Jaguar because I have a history with E-types,I replaced the clutch on the very 1st E-type imported into the states,I was driving it towards the beach in Palos Verdes ,Ca. when some individual of questionable judgement in the left lane turned right and hit me.yes,its true,I crashed the very 1st E-type Jag ever imported into the US. my legacy

Another 'impossibly accurate' restoration, as they say, for FHC - I've been looking forward to seeing this aircraft in detail, after all of the rumors about its uncompromising authenticity.

And a full set of Claytons too! The paint should be interesting given FHC's authenticity Jones and the fact that the airframe went straight to the RCAF, so it would have been bare metal and red post war? But I do se OD blast shielding/cockpit armor. No straffer (4 or 6 gun nose) nose-HMMMMMM we'll know pretty soon!

Hey 86,
Guess I missed you at Chino yesterday...or was that you I met just befor Tony cranked up the B-25?
Tim and crew have done a fabulous job restoring the 25....I have never seen one with all the armour installed. What I liked is the short stacks on the engines!!! Lotsa good round engine noise!
Dave....AW is looking good, I gave her a hug....but you do need to get some gust locks on the rudders....
