Clem’s Spitfire Update

You may have seen Clem flying his Spitfire at the October BBQ. It flew beautifully but a heavy landing in the long grass damaged the undercarriage and resulted in the firewall saying goodbye to the fuse. Now Clem has an update on the progress of his repair …

Hi all

here are some pictures of the spitfire it’s a big job I had to take the nose completely off as there was a lot of internal damage to the formers and engine mount, although it’s a hanger nine model they still use cheap plywood as formers and the stringers are not much better
Will keep you posted as I progress to the finish 🤞
