Seafire Restoration in America (6 pics)

Post by FlyTexas »

My uncle has a friend who is currently restoring a Seafire. My father recently visited my uncle and managed to take a few pics of the project. Take a look. :)

Yes. :) The aircraft is owned by a doctor who, to the best of my knowledge, doesn't have a pilots license. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if this lovely lady finds her way onto the market in the next year or so. :)

Interestingly, Wally Fisk is also the former owner of WL790 (aka Mr. McHenry). Nice to see that at least one of his birds will still get back out flying.
