Just following up on the post regarding the Packard Merlin article, mentioned by Agile & McFly on page 12. Here's a link to the article represented with the text searchable etc. It's from Warbirds Worldwide, but originally from 'Product Engineering' Nov 1946. Anyone knowing more about the original author or Horace P Phillimore, please let me know! Thanks to Alex at Mosquito HR339 resto for the tip. vintageaerowriter.wordpress.com/2020/06/24/reinventing-not-fixing/

I have to apologise folks, Brendon posted a great Christmas Eve wrap-up on the project with some great photos but unfortunately Fickr’s embed function is a tricky one for me to handle on my phone, so I’m afraid if you’re not a Facebook user you’ll have to wait until the 27th.
Many apologies!

It may have been mentioned somewhere back there, will she be configured as a two seater? I realise this distracts from the originality it has been done descretely in other restorations.

Thank God its a single......wonder what would happen if Brendon was approached to do another Mustang or Mustang components? Would the team be interested?

wonder what would happen if Brendon was approached to do another Mustang or Mustang components? Would the team be interested? I showed Brendon your question this afternoon and he said “No. I can’t speak for individual members of the team but we’re only doing this one.” Some excitement on Facebook today from Tehachapi via Brendon!! (FB link):As I alluded to up top, Brendon was kind enough to host me at Biggin Hill today and allow me to see Mustang Two Three up close (as well as put up with a lot of questions!). Pete Burgess was focused on pipes for the recently-installed oil radiator and Joe Deere was working on the windscreen side glazing. Brendon and Pete said that the Mustang is a lot more straightforward than the Spitfire was, and that they've had to source very few parts from outside what John Smith collected.
