Supermarines Reunited

How long before we have the ultimate Spitfire /Seafire combination of the Chino PR.19 and Montana FR.47 in formation?

I’ll give Eddie a call and see if it can be worked out…course, schedules may conflict, he still has’nt been able to hook up with Phil Makanna to get the Firefly shot for Phil’s calendar (got free calendars in 2002 for tipping Phil off to the Firefly’s existence, hee hee!) I was the first one to photograph the Firefly post restoration, out here in Colorado over the mountains…a great flight…we were supposed to form up with the Collings bombers for the photo flight, but Eddie had problems could’nt get the Firefly started until too late, the B-17 cruised on ahead so we could’nt catch it, so I photographed the B-24 first and then let it go and returned to the airport JUST as Eddie got the Firefly up and going and I shot 5 rolls of slide and 3 of print…and my photo shop processed the slide film as print and messed it all up (it looks very National Geographic, all the colors are kinda off) but the PRINT film came out beautifully…working on getting my scanner up and running here, will pass some along if I’m successful…

As said before, it could be a good idea for the Legends show 2005. 😎

Or how about the FR.47 and either Eddie Kurdzeil’s or the CWH Firefly?
