Andrew Many thanks. P

I'm rebuilding my L18c, single tank, no flaps. For some reason half of the ribs are damaged. No obvious signs of impact, Spar is OK. I've been offered some PA 22 ribs, part number 12046-04. Are they the same as my L18c ribs. Many thanks. P

Carrying on with Mike's theme, here's what I saw yesterday. Yesterday was the 70th aniversary of the first flight of the Spitfire. So Southampton celibrated with these five flying past. The lead aircraft was a two seater, and in the back seat was 93 year old Alex Henshaw, one of the original...
