Great shots Jeff.
Yes Karl, it does look different, even compared to when I saw it at Cosford last October.
A lot of the front end is 'false' anyway, as cowling panels, the spinner, radiator and trunking were missing when returned from the USA after the war. The radiator is 'mocked up' from a truck part, the trunking is (or was) linoleum, and the spinner is a composite, made from a Hastings or Varsity spinner, hence the odd shape to it, especially in profile.
What a shame we'll never see one in the air again. My favorite Brutus plane with that Clutch Cargo chin! The sound of those Sabres are spine tingling on youtube!
