They’re looking for a pilot’s seat – can you help?
They are rebuilding a Messerschmitt. This very one, in fact. It came down in one piece near Canterbury in 1940. They had a display with many of the parts they’ve been able to salvage or machine and they hope the final airplane will be about 80% original.
Here is the story and description of the project. Note the text doesn’t say “Messerschmitt” anywhere on it, so I had to ask my friend Grok how to spell it.
As the paint has worn away, you can just make out that it has been called 5 and 6 and 8 at various points in its life.
