Old Warden warriors reborn

摘要

There's never a quiet moment inside the workshop of the Old Warden-based Shuttleworth Collection. Significant advances have been made in recent months on two major projects at the Bedfordshire attraction - Sopwith Camel reproduction 'D185V and Supermarine Spitfire V AR501. Following its delivery from Yorkshire's Northern Aeroplane Workshops (NAW) in August 2013, much progress has been made on the Camel. Shuttleworth engineer Andy Preslent described recent work: "A great deal has been done to finish the aircraft's undercarriage, plus preparing and painting the legs and wheels. On the inside of the fuselage, a complete fit out of the fuel, air and oil systems has been carried out. The oil tank had to be removed and reworked, but is now back in place.
