I was just looking at the Database on PR/FR Spitfires, and the survivors listing states that SM969 is owned by Jim Beesely, rather than TFC. Have TFC sold her on or is this a mistake?

So they got the aircrafts type wrong and spelt the guys name incorrectly.
Says a lot.

Which database, Ant?
Doh! The Database section in the latest copy of Aeroplane. The listing reads;
“SM969, FR.XVIIIE, Jim Beesley, Pennsylvania,USA.”
Sorry about that, it’s been a long day!

SM969 is a F.XVIII not an FR.
