STATIC MEW GULL - HENSHAW REBUILD

AJD Engineering restored the original Mew Gull G-AEXF after its crash at Shuttleworth and have been asked by Alex Henshaw to manufacture a static Mew Gull, exact in every detail and configured in the Cape configuration. This aircraft when complete will be initially on display at the RAF Museum Hendon and will be dedicated by Alex as a tribute to the in-between Wars activity involving private pilots who succeeded in record breaking attempts throughout the world and air racing.
