Superb photos of a magnificent restoration:) Will it soon be joined in the air by a Spitfire PR.19?

I think there are no hope for the Spitfire since they got only 3 years in service with RTAF and Tango Snq. have a plenty aircraft to take care of:cool:

They currently operating a flyable O-1, T-28D, some old helicopter and Curtis-Wright Travel Air 2000 name ‘Miss Siam’ which is the first civilian aircraft in Thailand. (Almost 90 years) If they got more money, anything is possible.:D

I appreciate the price of aviation fuel…but a 4 minute test flight?

Sounds like a dropped digit, as you would be pushing to complete a circuit in that time.

A splendid restoration.

Thai Spitfire next?

🙂 They just take off and fly to the other side of runway and land. Because everyone warroy about its engine. (Which is got a several overheat problem sometime back) So everyone only hope the bearcat can fly in the first flight in that they, not just get cough or sick on the runway. 🙂

Many work still need to be done.
