I suppose it could be a laugh to see who can come up with the most outrageous listing on ebay, then close it before you get reported for inaccurate listing, it would probably be on most forums within minutes.:dev2:

How about a MkVIII Spitfire fitted with a Tank engine, that was flown by Tuck and Bader, with a few picks of them badly super imposed in the cockpit it just happened to be made of plastic and carry a tank engine because it was special model tested by the a couple of the top pilots. Start the bidding at 99p.
Do you think anyone would take it seriously???:rolleyes: I bet someone would and start slagging off the listing.
Maybe thats too accurate i believe Supermarine did test a Spit made out of Bakolite??? (a Wartime type of plastic)
Don’t think ill try it might get banned again:o !!!!!

Would be funny to see some imaginative ebay listings here though?

The “plastic” Spitfire was made from “aerolite” which was a mix of flax fibres and phenolic resin; it never flew , and so the first gate guardian was born!
