Some news for you regarding the Grace Spitfire.
Carolyn Grace is delighted to announce that the Grace Spitfire has a new sponsor, JLT.
This year is also the 25th anniversary year of the first post rebuild flight of ML407. To celebrate this the Grace family decided to respray ML407 in the same scheme as Nick Grace did in 1985 after the first flight. Some more photographs can be found here:

Its not unique – there are several like that including PT462 in Wales. The current mod was devised by Dick Melton in conjunction wth Nick Grace and first used on ML407 (although the Soviet Air Force was the first to put the concept in to action in WWII).
Hi all, another reason for using this type of canopy is that the origional bulbus one are as rare as hens teeth. We are doing a T9 at the moment to be fitted with bulbus canopy but it looks like one is going to have to be made from scratch !!! unless some one on here knows where there is one going spare !!!!
