    Nice Scheme.
    I like it.

    Over to the experts now to go over the details…
    Is that roundel blue too light?
    or the greys too dark?
    does anyone know if the serial font is correct?
    Its not correct for a Mk16, blah blah blah

    Etc etc etc you know the rest………….

    In the Loading and C. G tables in later mark spitfire APs is reference to

    an Incendiary bomb carried in the cockpit.

    I recall seeing clips for such a device on the stbd cockpit wall in some of the

    later Mk APs as well.

    The pilots notes for the mk18 show it clearly.

    I will check the mk 14 notes and let you know.

    Just read over on Airshowbuzz that Glacier girl will not be crossing the pond this year but there is confirmation that the 3 ship horsemen will be attending legends this year. Does this mean there will be 2 mustangs arriving in containers?

    No.

    If that were in the care of ARC at Duxford it would be flying again by Friday!

    Im sure one of the ARC fleet of vehicles would deploy a team really quickly.

    Or they may even have a undercover,unmarked car in the area.:diablo:

    Am I right in thinking that with the sale of the two MK 18 spitfires at Duxford
    recently that we are down to just one MK 14 [MV268] and if that gets sold
    there will be no airworthy Griffon spits in the UK?:(

    regards

    Graham

    Er…I think you will find that its not MV268.

    Its just painted up as that.

    Looking at it recently,id hardly call it airworthy.

    Funny they ran the engine with the cowlings off.

    I wonder if it all went well?

    Sounds a good deal to me.:rolleyes:

    Will the resulting 2 seat spitfire have a set of undercarrage doors?

    Or is that an optional extra?

    Maybe its all in the information pack.

    Then again……
