The Forward Extension Rear Duct Former at Station 3 is complete!!!
Vintage Wings AME and structures specialist Ken Wood announced this afternoon that he finally finished this particular *@!$¥¢@ little piece of $%&*@here – holding in his hand, the fruits of an entire day's labour - the challenging and much feared Forward Extension Rear Duct Former at Station 3. Vintage Wings of Canada management were ecstatic and this giant leap forward brings us even closer to the skies with the Roseland Spitfire, which until today was deeply lacking in Forward Extension Rear Duct Formers at Station 3. You could feel the excitement in the air as Wood brandished the Forward Extension Rear Duct Former for all to stare at in awe. “As far as Forward Extension Rear Duct Formers go, this Forward Extension Rear Duct Former is a home run out of the park” said former World Champion Forward Extension Rear Duct Former Former, Guy Richard, adding “I give it 9 for ducting and 10s across the board for Forming and Extending”. It doesn't get much better than this.

I came here because there was a spitfire with its wings off on a truck trailer underneath the west seattle bridge this morning - but something about the bulges for the rocker covers and the emptiness of the fuselage at the wing-joint area said replica to me so I came looking for shots of actual spits wit their wings off... great site, thanks!
