This threw me, and for a split second I thought I was looking at a Model 322 or Lightning I in RAF parlance. Yep, was formerly named white lighting, and owned by a chap named 'lefty' Gardner. It was used as an air racer, and then did lots of air shows in the US through the 80s and early 90s. The family that owned it, couldn't keep up with the growing costs, and it eventually caught fire in the air, and was forced to land in a farmers field, gear up. Lefty wanted to fix it, and I don't remember if it was damaged to badly, or the family just ran out of cash or if Lefty died or something, but it ended up being sold to Redbull and restored, extensively, and they kept the early cowls. Last time I looked into it, it was based somewhere in Europe. Also, look at the left radiator exhaust doors, I wonder if the engine is running hot, and he has them open to cool it down, or if he forgot to close them? a before pic RobotMinisterofTrueKorea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
