Anyone remember this? The guy advertising flights in a Spitfire/Mustang/Me109??
I’ve had this from him recently. Had a look at G-INFO, too; all Mustangs accounted for!
Just noticed the part about a two-seat Spitfire, too! Funny, he told me it was a 90% scale replica….

There was a proposal of a similar set up some years ago using some classic 2 seat aircraft, other than an ad in Pilot it never got a great deal further in the press due to unforseen circumstances, however it was a genuine attempt to form a fantastic syndicate to operate some great aircraft (most of which had already been bought).
I know nothing of these guys, but I feel they should be given a chance.

True – like those Paul Allen birds.
I would imagine, though, that a set-up like this must have been waved under the noses of various aviation periodicals enough times for them to take the bait?
Even if it was just a proposal?

You’d be suprised whats going on out there that nobody knows about. There is always the possibility that a warbird is being worked on behind closed doors.

This was the guy who put an advertisement in “Pilot” a few months back, remember?
I’ve checked out the Spitfire “two-seater” replica with Supermarine in Australia, who’ve never heard of it, although the guy’s name rang a bell with them.
If the Mustang wasn’t registered, you’d still think we’d have heard something on the grapevine by now to make this thing even plausible??

Maybe the Mustang isn’t registered yet
who are these people, where are they from?
