    I’m sorry to hear of Edgar’s passing.

    I always found his detailed postings on Spitfire modifications (on god knows how many forums) highly useful, as I’m sure many others did.

    My condolences to his friends and family.

    Thanks for the reminder.

    I wondered why I’ve had a sudden urge to read,watch, and think more about this wonderful aeroplane in the last month or so!

    Now I know why!

    Cheers

    Thanks for the update Mark.

    Time will tell if it acquires ‘slim’ cowlings, short intake, short horn elevator, spline u/c legs and five aperture wheels.

    Fingers Crossed eh?

    Your day will be BR601.

    Mark

    Ah yes, BR601!

    Do you know how the restoration is progressing Mark?

    I know there was thread on WIX a few months ago, with someone mentioning that the Collings Foundation has plans to convert it to two-seater.

    However, someone with connections to the CF, or involved with them, confirmed that it would stay as a single seater, and that the restoration will be finished to the standard the previous owner intended.

    Cheers

    Whilst two seater Spitfires are always welcome because they give others and would be Spitfire pilots the chance to fly and train in one, I’ve always been hoping that with the earlier serialled MK.IX recoveries/restorations, the opportunity would be taken to restore one too how it was when crashed, or an early modification state such as when it entered service.

    We’ve all seen how wonderful the early MK.Is (P93754 & N3200) look, and have given all the chance to see what an early Spitfire really was like. The same can be said for the Fairfax Spitfire MK.V EE602.

    Oh well, maybe one day!

    Cheers

    Unfortunately most of us here don’t read the NZ papers. Could you possibly provide a link?

    I found these:-

    http://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/360616/light-plane-crashes-near-dunedin

    After reading the original post, I thought it was one of the TVAL machines, but it appears it wasn’t.

    Good to hear the pilot was ok.

    Cheers

    Too add, I thought George Ellis was fantastic at the Shuttleworth Uncovered show!

    First time I’ve heard him commentate, and only realised it was him after I thought to myself, “That voice sounds familar”!

    A good example of how to do it right.

    Cheers

    Spitfire IX, possibly Boultbee’s (SM520), heading roughly in the direction of Goodwood about 5 minutes ago.

    Footage from the 1987 Torp airshow, Norway, of the Paul family P-40E with Mark at the controls: –

    Also includes brief footage of MH434 after a repaint (rarely filmed or photographed I must add!), prior to her involvement in ‘Piece of Cake’.

    I bought this programme up on here a few years ago!

    http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?20217-Vintage-MH434-Documentary&highlight=

    Note Steve Connor’s post at the end.

    It would be nice if Freemantle could find out who the rights to the programme actually belong to!

    Cheers
