A pint of Adnams on offer

I’m up up for a glass of water I think…

I’ll have the same I think.

I’m guessing the edited bits around the tailwheel, gear doors etc. are the leftovers of somebody editing out the owner/pilot/builder of this quarter scale or thereabouts model Spit :rolleyes:

The undercarriage door doesn’t look right (see pic) and someone’s been messing around with the tailwheel in a picture manipulation program.

Not the Clive Du Cross replica. The canopy’s wrong as well as the prop, and numerous other points.

I don’t think it’s a real Spitfire. Model? Replica? Fake? Dunno though. I’m up up for a glass of water I think…

The BBMF’s MkII has flown with a 4-blade prop, as did MkI AR213 up until restoration commenced.

Yup..but not with 12 inch Mk XIV brakes.

Induction intake – non standard.

Moggy’s already said it’s NOT a film prop, and I was thinking it could have been the replica used in Pearl Harbor, but it had Siamesed (2-1) exhausts…:rolleyes:

Clive’s Spit IS now in 1940 (well, 1938, if you forgive the fin flash) markings, but has a more scale-like two-blade prop fitted.

My first impression was of Clive du Cros’s K5054 replica, but fitted with a four blade unit and painted in 1940 markings. I’m probably well wide of the mark though.

I bet it’s one of those bloody-great 1/4 scale FibreClassics Spitfires, built in Germany!!

The PofC replicas were all MkIX-based, in fact I’m sure they were moulded from PL965 (I think this is mentioned in Hugh Smallwood’s book, Spitfire in Blue). Likewise the BofB replicas were moulded from a MkV, but with a 3-blade prop.

Hmm, early style windscreen and wings but four blade prop? Is this a combination of parts thrown together for a movie?? One of the MarkAddies perhaps?

It does look a bit suspect somehow, I’m not ruling out the possibility that it’s a model/GRP replica.

Not a film prop.

Answer at 5pm tonight if nobody gets it before.

You can then all club together and buy ME the Adnams!

A film “extra”? Something from Piece of Cake or the like? Taxiable?

Without wishing to appear (even more) stupid, are the 4 blade prop and 4 gun wings compatible? Thought everything from the Mk V was based around the cannon wing.

JC

GRP replica then?

Not any full-scale flying Spit that I’ve seen or know of.

If you mean was it built by Vickers Supermarine? ….

…. Possibly not

Moggy

But it IS the real McCoy?? :confused:

It is not, necessarily, a UK airfield.

Moggy

Any other clues, Moggy?

No danger to the pint from contestants so far :p

Moggy

I smell the distinct ‘whiff’ of Paint Shop Pro!! 🙂

Mark

‘Where?’ – Try right clicking and then ‘save as’

Mind you the file name could be a crafty red Herring

Geoff

My best guess is it’s either AR213 or P7350??

Or a model (there’s no pitot head under the port wing, that I can see anyway).

Where and when – not the foggiest!
