Texas Based
Hi Chris - I am based in Texas; I live in Houston and my hangar is just west of town at a small private aerodrome; Fair Weather Field.
I was out visiting a few airports around London area in September, and always happy to see general aviation still strong. Was at Biggen Hill and watched a Spitfire taking people for rides...very nostalgic! Jeff |

Jag,
Fantastic - Biggin is a good airfield for that sort of stuff. If you ever come across you should give me a shout. Lots more to see in the UK GA Sphere :-) 0318 is going to be the THIRD 337 on a UK register. So it's a pretty special thing to see here. |

Awesome Chris! I saw the airplane on the internet sometime in the last couple of weeks. I thought it had a lot of potential, and I'm glad you will be documenting the restoration.

That's a wicked paint job; so glad you're saving her from the recycler.

Hey Kilr4D,
Yep - terrible music and taken quite a while ago but that's the aircraft. We've got her back in the workshop now, got the rear engine started and cleared the way internally for the various inspections. We've taken a brief pause because I'm doing some renovations to one of our workshops that I intend to cycle the major parts of the 337 through during the restoration. That should (hopefully) be finished by early next week and we can get her moved across and get cracking. I'm not entirely sold on the paint job. I may opt for something a bit more modern but let's see where we get to. Cheers Chris |
