-Nice one - great work and what has to be my favourite restoration. Can't wait to see it finished but am loving the nuts & bolts of the restoration. And those hiduminium rivets take me back a bit.

-Its a good job talented people can bring back an aircraft from extinction and what a brilliant job they are doing .My father passed away this january ex RAF.He has a shed full of old bolts and nuts not necessarily to do with aircraft but the are old english makes in there .The only problem is its in Staffordshire quite a way from Yeovil.

-Congratulations on all that superb work you are doing. I know a Barracuda pilot who is very excited about your project and hoping he will still be with us when it's finished.

-Hi Steve
Would love to know which Barracudas he piloted.
Cheers
Will.

-Lee, I’m sure you’re aware of this but VTTS are clearing out their stores, we received some rivets from them recently- perhaps they have surplus fixings available? Worth an email? ATB TT

-Hi All,
As always great work by those who restore the various aircraft in particular this being the Barracuda, always like reading the comments on their Facebook
updates in particular funny ones, i.e. from April the 13th - A bonus was a display by the Sea Fury. The pistons and con rods managed to stay connected to the crankshaft so that was a second bonus....:D

-Its been a while since we've posted here so this is a bump. We're making good progress but it will still take quite a few years given our limited resources, but the quality of the restoration is excellent. We're always after anything Barracuda related, be it tangible in the form of parts, or memories and memorabilia and would love to hear from descendants and relatives of former barracuda aircrew and maintainers. See our Facebook Page for the latest progress linked below.
