Interesting timing.

In the last year, at least, the CAA has been weeding out the registration records and owners who have had CAA mail returned “gone away” are having their aircraft de-registered. Many re-appear a few months later when contact is re-established.

I am beginning to think this Spitfire doesn’t actually exist. :rolleyes:

Oh Mark, you cynic… :p

Where has all the faith gone these days… :rolleyes:

So are to gather that if one were to miraculously appear in FOUR weeks… you’d be playing the leading roll in a new Hamlet commercial? 😉

Blimey, all a bit elaborate isn’t it!
Wouldn’t that practical joke have incurred costs and possibly the wrath of the CAA?

I think the attention of the writer of said mail was at least temporarily diverted onto another target! 😉

I did wonder who was selling all that stuff!

I’m pleased to say that its a while since I received any of that mail!

Having read both posts I still don’t get the significance of timing here?

So three weeks before the publication of what many will consider to be the defiintive work on Surviving Spitfires and following strategic ebay component sales in recent months, the contentious ‘Turkish’ Spitfire, with not one sighting in ten years, is de-registered and ‘gone away’.

I am beginning to think this Spitfire doesn’t actually exist. :rolleyes:

A view that has been rewarded with a two inch thick file of ‘anonymous’ hate mail passed on to me from around the globe.

Pathetic.

The addressee status of ‘gone away’ seems more interesting.

To the Big House?

Most definately, about half as much, I thought about changing the Up down lenses but its got Turkish engraved into the pull down screen. 😡
incidently if anyones interested pull down for night use in Turkish is Gece asaga cekiniz

Wonderfully rare – but probably worth less than a British one!!

LOL

Bruce

I have a UC indicator for a Turkish Spit how rare is that :confused::confused:

Bruce,

Correct.

Reference, however, has to be made to the British Civil Registration G-CBNU for completeness of the records.

So, can we take it this one is NOT in the book? 😉
