Don't want to let go of them, but perhaps this will suffice for now (scan I made years ago of one of the bigger boxes).

23 is back together-

The corrosion in the cockpit rail-



The replacement rail next to the old one-



On 22 we have been in cleanup mode-

1941 metal exposed after all these years-

I can see myself.
1980s Grey was sprayed over the 1944 Corpus Christie green, too bad it didn't stick-

Guess you wil break out the dry ice gun on the grey paint? Is all that rail corrosion from years of wear and tear on the rail?

Lynn, Let me know if you want the day shift or swing shift.

A while back I rebuilt a Spitfire Tailwheel. I have got it on the Spit now.
Here it is together-

Comparing old bearings with the new. Bearings are the same as front on a 1920s Fordson Tractor or Model A.

In Place-

Spit Seat-

Area under the seat-

Fuel tank area. MLG actuators art the bottom-

Back side of the upper spar-

I remember those plain nuts with the end of the bolts staked from somewhere! POF PRXIX engine mount or Jim Mott's Sea Fury?

[Lynn Allen]

Rich, what kind of floor jack are you using on the tail wheel area?

Thanks

Jim blasted out of here this am for Boston. He will do a Heritage Flight flyover of the start of the Red Sox - Yankees game. It is the 100th anniversary of Fenway and the game features the same 2 teams, time of the start and date 100 yrs apart.

They got a great shot of the F-16 and Jim flying away looking up at the aft end.
To bad they retired the blimps. That would have been a great shot looking down on them.
