Guy posted some unused footage of him working with John Romain, on doping an aileron for the BBMF Lancaster.

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?

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?

Ah yes, thinking back you may well be correct. Interesting colour scheme tho' and something different to look forward to.

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.
