byrdy Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Got a talk on HMS Blackcap at my local history group tomorrow so would love to see the picture.I went to Broomfields in 1961 but alas no Spitfire then.I do remember an engine in Billy Banks's metalwork storeroom but i think that was a V8 Ford Pilot engine.
