Vid showing part of the recovery of G-APWA
I knew it had been cannabalised and there was an awlful lot of pieces missing and much work and donations from BAF spares stock to help the rebuild, but I never realised how bad a state it was in.
Shows what a credit the restoration teams are to aviation history

Judging by the pics I've seen of her online the crew did an amazing job restoring her.
That guy with his finger up his nose does good work.

I haven't seen 'WA since the early 1960's
She was pretty new then but already had about three years of hard work
