Re: Guy Martin Lancaster documentary
Good show. Could have been 2 episodes.
Re: Guy Martin Lancaster documentary
Guy posted some unused footage of him working with John Romain, on doping an aileron for the BBMF Lancaster.

Re: Guy Martin Lancaster documentary
Has anybody mentioned the desert schemed Wildcat in the 1st few seconds of the youtube vid.
Re: Guy Martin Lancaster documentary
Mmm, yes indeed. The only one I thought it could be was TFC's G-RUMW in for a bit of TLC and a possible repaint? Only guessing, mind?
...Rad shutters auto.
Re: Guy Martin Lancaster documentary
Definitely not TFCs example as there is a picture in the Duxford 2021 thread of it having its engine run up in its existing scheme. Think I remember reading there were a couple of projects over in the UK and what happened to the one that was gifted to Shuttleworth?
Re: Guy Martin Lancaster documentary
Ah yes, thinking back you may well be correct. Interesting colour scheme tho' and something different to look forward to.

Re: Guy Martin Lancaster documentary
Yes, I believe the Wildcat is the former Shuttleworth example being restored G-KINL. There are three other examples shown on G-INFO: G-WCME, WCMI and WCMO.
