I think the Seafire 17 was one of the best looking of all the spit/seafire family, The Mk47 was allso I great aircraft, I think one of the problems with the seafire was that they were a little too late to really do anything in the war after the weak fuselarge problem had been sorted, I allso agree with the landing issue:D

Definately agree, looks and sounds great, Ive just uploaded this video of Kennet Aviations Seafire 17 from its display at Shoreham 2007 airshow.
