Interesting co-incidence the latest FAA N-Register changes for w/e 23/01/09 include:

Ownership changes (new owner shown)
N808U VICKERS ARMSTRONG LTD SPITFIRE MK.XIV MV262 WEEKS KERMIT A POLK

Err… The meaning of life of course! 😉

So there is still raw material available for restoration.

Hope they will make it in the que before too long.

ok, understand & appreciate that, but thanks for the heads-up

Alas I must respect the owners privacy, both south of the Thames, one a bit closer to the south coast than the other!!..Sorry I can expand no more.

interesting picture Mark12, bit of history eh ?

i dare to ask TE517 & SM639, the south of England is a big place, any chance of a smaller area to work around ?

Thanks,

Both TE517 and SM639 held in ‘storage’ in the south of England by seperate English owners.

Hmm,

MV262 and TE517 both owned by an American, stored in the UK, I think – unless it has changed recently.

I thought TE517 was sold back in 2005…to an English party.

First sight of MV262. February 1976.
