Hire a Spitfire or Hurricane ?

I have SPITFIRES !!!

Probably a bit late…..but if you wish for a Spitfire, Hurricane, or Messerschmitt then I can arrange this. They are full size replicas built in the last three years…..

Having seen and heard Graham’s Spitfire in Birmingham last Monday (see other thread) I can vouch for it’s awesomeness…. :diablo:

Is the smile from being married or having the spit?

Congratulations and what a stunning feature to have at your wedding.

Thanks we had a great time as well, sorry the guns hadnt been fitted just completed them today ready for their first outing at war on the Line this weekend. Might have been just a bit to much for the village :dev2: Must say they were pretty tolerant of the noice especially ten oclock at night.
Thanks for having us. 🙂

I’ll happily second Matts sentiments, Graham and the guys were brilliant and obviously passionate about the Spit – he nearly turned me! (into a pistonhead from a jet junkie – just to clarify!)

And the old girl herself..simply awesome! If you haven’t seen her do her thing, you really need to to make your life complete!

Hi there welll on the 29th of May 2010 i married my partner Beccy in the little village of Broughton cambs, i would like to thank Graham Adlam and his team for bringing up the Spitfire all the way from from Somerset and making our wedding day one of the very best 😀
Nothing was ever to much trouble you were great, and the running up of the Spitfire at night with the sound and sight of the blue flames coming from the stubs is somthing everyone at the wedding and i will never forget….i still have a massive grin on my face;)!!!!
here are a couple of pics from the day:cool:

All the best Matt & Beccy

For some reason I thought they had some deal with the old Officers Mess being rented out for functions… or am I thinking of some other station/base?

Sounds like a good idea, so they probably haven’t thought of it!

£15 (ish) entrance fee, X 100 guests, plus wedding feast in the cafeteria; probably cheaper to buy one!

Probably easier & cheaper to take the wedding to the Spitfire instead of a Spitfire to the wedding….

That’s assuming you could do the wedding at Dx or similar..

hi graham, gb replicas bought the moulds but im pretty sure your one is one we made. no matter what though it still impressive how much work and effort you have done to make it how it is today. As for the data plate not to sure how that stands yet will let you know very soon lol. im hoping to put a few more pictures on after the weekend which will be a bit more recent.hoping for a bit of good weather soon so we can roll her out n get some daylight lol. regards terry

hi graham regarding the spitfire. i used to build the fibreglass replicas and spent a year in 91/92 taking it around to many events and agree with your comments. im not sure if you know but the replica you have was one from my moulds which we built back in the 90’s under TDL Replicas.We built 12 of these fibreglass replicas and happy to see them going to good use. Like you say people like to touch alot and we are already equipped with the appropriate fencing and trailer etc. thank you for advice it is much appreciated . if your ever up this way feel free to get in contact and will be happy to show you round the spitfire regards terry

Hello Terry

Thats interesting I always thought mine was a GB Replicas one, did they buy the molds from you?
I have to agree with Baz they are superb replicas and apart from the UC they are extremely strong, we obviously had to do some strengthing work to take the engine but basically its a very strong structure.
Would love to see your Spitfire thankyou, I travel around allot so you might see me sooner than you think.
It really is amazing and knowing how much time and money i have spent on my giant airfix kit I am quite in awe that you have created what is really a real Spitfire, its got to be at least as original as many flying today. I am surprised you havent attached an original Data plate.
Perhaps we could work together sometime? Baz and i have plans to do something together at some stage although i fear you may put us in the dark with your superb creation.

hi baz i am glad you like it and must say looks very impressive what you have done and is great to see they are still about.A very nice website i must say to.we are in the process of making our website so any advice on making one would be great lol. if you would like any information or a look at our spit just get in touch will be more than happy to show you her.regards terry

I believe I have one of yours in my garden and a nice job you did too. I had it restored last year so hopefully will last a few years to come. Check my website below

There is planty or work around for Replica Spitfires particularly one as good as this if you dont mind the travelling. Have you got the transport logistics worked out? this of coarse is the major cost involved. One thing I quickly realised after my first job was that its essential to have a barrier right around the aircraft. The first show we attended was pretty stressful as people just love to touch, one particular lady on realising the cannon cowlings moved when pressure was applied proceeded to pull it off and examine it! The other vunerable pieces like the rudder and elevators received their fair share of attention to.
Having people in the cockpit also causes a fair bit of where and tear, you have to be vigulant and be prepared to explain the controls over and over and over again.
We now surround our replica with fake barbed wire, it looks sharp but wont do any damage to the public.
Its a lot of hard work but its worth it !

just as an idea have your wedding in just jane while she taxis

Seriously bad idea

“Do you Pure, take this woman Impure to be your…”

“Pardon?”

“Eh?”

“Sorry, what did you say?”

“What was that?”

“Pardon?”

“Speak up”

“Sod it!”

Have a look at the thread by SimplySpitfire, their all metal replica mk IX is available for weddings funerals and bar mitzvar’s, and the owner hires out wedding cars (Rolls-Royce) as well; bargain is it

Hello Baz
