Taking the ‘missing a/c’ thread idea, what about ALL those British maritiime aircraft that we don’t have anymore? It’s a crying shame that there is not a single marine a/c flying worldwide of British origin (or is there?)
One that was ‘preserved’ before being destroyed is this one –
What?
Where? &
When?
(And the regie is wrong btw – that would be TOO easy…)
Oh, and you can include Spitfires if you must – those Mk.V and IX’s on floats could’ve been preserved (or recreated – now THERE’s an idea!)

Well to answer your question about 1/2 scale spitfire engines it would have to be around a 150 to 200 cc engine based on a MK 1a Spitfire. Wing span is 36 feet half is 18 feet. A 1/4 scale Spit requires an engine of between 60 to 100 cc so double that and theres your answer. Have a look at model manufacturer Mick Reeves web site and look under Spitfires. All the info you need to work it out is there. http://www.mrmodels.fsnet.co.uk/
Personally for size and everything I would love the 1/4 scale Spit on that website.
