Europe Trip #29: IWM Duxford - 10 - Airworthy/ restoration to Airworthy

The following aircraft were in a hanger that contained a variety of airworthy and being restored to airworthy aircraft. What you see in this post is a small selection of those aircraft.

Apart from the fact that many of these rare and impressive aircraft either are, or will be, airworthy, I was really impressed with both the cleanliness of this workshop, and that the public are allowed in to observe these restorations!

Top to bottom [with registrations, where known] are:

Curtis P40B Warhawk, G-CDWH
Grumman FM2 Wildcat
Beech 17 Staggerwing, G-BRVE
North American T28S Fennec [French built T28 Trojan]
Supermarine Spitfire Vb
Chance Vought F4U Corsair
Bristol Beaufighter
