Seafire Mk.46 LA564 – A man with a hobby

Worth watching this ‘Nationwide’ clip from 40 years ago, some of you will recognise the chap with the dashing sideburns.

Damn! I thought my Airfix Seafire didn’t look quite right! It seems the prop should have six blades!

Great clip though, and Sue Lawley looked pretty hot back in the day!

Steve

He could have at least put a shirt on….. Flowered and lurid springs to mine, mismatched with an equally flowered and lurid Kipper Tie.. 😀

“Sue Lawley” isn’t that a song by “The Police” along with “Massage in a Brothel”?

To the best of my knowledge the original is still in the sea, just off the West Sussex coast.

Shot down by a Stuka …

Those where the days when you could build a Spitfire on front drive. Don’t happen any more.

Some classic taildraggers are still built on drives 🙂
