Seafire reborn

[stroker]

Happening here in my own town and I had no idea... Damn, I feel dumb. Sure is nice to see such a quality restoration of such a fine airplane, though...

It's great to see. A Seafire was pranged up a bit last week in England unfortunately, but the pilot did a great job getting it down.

It seems that the landing gear failed in the up position:(

It didn't do that radiator any favors.

wood prop?

Naturally...and ironically when the Australian spitfire taxiied into a whole and broke his prop in about 1988, there was nowhere else in the world you could buy one except Germany!
