Built at Castle Bromwich in April 1943. Rescued from a scrap yard in South Africa in 1978 and shipped to the UK in 1989. Fuselage under rebuild by Airframe Assemblies Ltd. It has now been removed from the yellow jig frame for final panel fitting prior to shipment to the owner for complete assembly. The workmanship at this facility is superb and the historic accuracy is very important to the dedicated team. Each fuselage can take several years to complete. Registered in 2013 as G-CGZU with RAF code EF-F. This photo is copyright © Brian R Burrage, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
