[updated:LAST EDITED ON 28-10-02 AT 01:21 AM (GMT)]The late, lamented Spitfire MkXVI RW382. This picture was taken at Deer Valley airport in Arizona just shortly after the airplane was imported to the USA. The airplane spent a couple of weeks at Deer Valley while Thomas Jackson became acquainted with it. He flew it nearly every day for those couple of weeks, sometimes for several hours during the day, mostly shooting touch and goes. I was lucky enough to be working across the street from the airport and had opportunity to meet Mr. Jackson and sit in the airplane. It was an opportunity that I will not forget.

This thread on the FlyPast forum mentions that RW382 is currently undergoing rebuild;

Hope this helps,

RE: RW382
I have tried to obtain accident info on RW382 on the FAA website, and failed – NOT for ghoulish reasons, simply to hear what went wrong.
Chad – 2 questions for you (& anyone else):
What do they think was the cause of the accident?
Rebuild – is it being considered?
