If TB252 is the other Spitfire in their hangar, a Mk XVI I think, it’s stored pending NH799 being finished.

I don’t believe the Mossie is headed to the UK now, the delay has put the owner off the idea last I heard.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! Looks like im heading to Virginia for my hols next year!!!!:diablo:

NH799, which Sir Tim Wallis crashed in (in 1996). Looking forward to having 3 Spits down here!

May I be ignorant and ask which Spitfire this is? I wasn’t aware of any Griffon spits (this looks like a XIVe) down under…

And that relatively complete project used significant new-build elements sourced from somewhere apparently unacceptable to some.

Yes, a well funded and relatively complete project has taken close on ten years to rebuild.

What chance a data plate restoration?
