Chad!
i know what you mean but the best way to commemorate those lost is to keep going, then they are never forgotten.
Keep the faith,:)

It saddens me to think that, in the 12 years since these photos were taken, not only have both of these Spits been involved in fatal accidents but also the RNHF Firefly and TFC P-38 also visible in the top photo. I am a died in the wool warbird fanatic but it really makes me wonder…

Yep – Daz is spot on with those.

Thanks DDM. Anyone confirm these IDs?

Top photo: Historic Flying’s first Spitfire restoration, MkXVI RW382, owned by David Tallichet. Crashed and destroyed in 1995.
Bottom photo: Tr9 PV202, owned (I think) at the time by Rick Roberts. This, of course, is the aircraft in which Norman Lees died in April 2000, and is being rebuilt in its Irish Air Corp configuration and guise as IAC161.
