    America is becoming a laughing stock in the world. Banning historic aircraft but nodody gives a damn about school massacres

    I think you’re pusing your point a bit too far mate.

    I also want Scarlett Johanson.

    Chances are about the same for both of them.

    Hi All,

    There are a number of forum topics regarding this aircraft and its long-running rebuild to flying condition.

    This Spitfire is special to me, as I sat in its cockpit, and had my photo taken with it, when it was in the Rolls-Royce hangar at East Midlands Airport in the 1970s/early 1980s.

    I emailed the Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust to ask for an update on progress, and received this reply:

    “David, the aeroplane is at least a year from completion.The wings should be delivered in the next few weeks; engine is completed and John Hart and the team are working on the airframe currently.
    In hindsight, the programme was optimistic – the same team operate the Mk 19. Contact me again in, say, 6 month’s time for an update.”

    Please do so and keep us updated!

    Well the nose wheel must have been a joy. Probably easy to land and control on the ground

    Im blank on these registration issues, but it feels to me it’s a lot easier to get an aircraft thru the paperwork in the USA than in Europe.

    Finding a forgotten Spitfire MkIX squadron in some underground hangar in Australia, all ready to go. And all mine.

    Hawker Tempest V
    Spitfire IX (in Rolf Arne Berg’s Norwegian Wing Co. color scheme)
    Halifax (there is a Lancaster already, so I’ll go with this one)
    Westland Whirlwind

    All flying conditions. All aircrafts in historically correct markings and I would not put my initials on any of them.

    I would try my best to make my aircrafts presented to the public as closely as possible, through airshow displays but also through guided tours and even for some lucky *******s, a chance to sit in them. 😀

    Sorry for bumping, but http://www.warbirdsmagazine.com have a report from my visit at this Israeli air force base written in English if anyone is interested. Apologize for any grammar, spelling mistakes and that sort of stuff. I’m not a native english speaker, but do my best!
