M8-20 or equivalent companies restoring Spitfires

Are you offering?

sorry do not hold the correct approvals, only the ones the local vet advise’s 😀

Are you offering?

Elliott,

When are you putting out the tender for the spitfire rebuild then?:diablo:

Don’t worry about the Whitley folks – i’m about to go out to the workshop to drill some centre section holes in a minute.

If I wait to finish the Whitley first however I may well be too old to enjoy the Spit 🙂

Biggin Hill Heritage hangar have a couple of Spits undergoing restoration at the moment!

I’d far rather Elliott put his Whitley together first – there are (soon to be) hundreds of Spitfire’s being put together but very few Whitleys 😀

Jeepman,

Quite right old chap.

The oracle is on the CAA website here:

Search on M5.

You will be suprised at the number of organisations with M5 approval but of course not all of them are engaged in restoring Spitfires.

Are’nt Supermarine Aero a supplier of parts ?

Supposed to be however still waiting for a quote for parts for my own project since May of this year!
Believe they have been putting together the fuselage of Mk17 Seafire SX300 for the same owner who owns SX336.

Whitley,
Are you ready to put together your spitfire then?

Hi Bruce

Thank you again for pointing me on the straight and narrow regarding this, sounds like a minefield to me.

He did, but it was done by him as an approved subcontractor (to ARC I think).

Sorry, will go back through my PM’s!

Bruce

Hi Bruce,

Sorry but ref Hull aero I was lead to believe he rebuilt Peter Monks Mk1 fuselage, if that was the case surely he would require CAA approval’s?

Bruce did you recieve my list of requirements as nothing heard ?

Regards

Jay

I think you mean A8-20 companies, with M5 and E4 approvals.

Ralph Hull does not hold any approvals.

Bruce
