Was the spitfire model made of metal and was there a price on it. looks very well made, by the photo. Thanks, also where in Birmingham?
Thank you fellows, for your replies. Much appreciated.
I must admit that I have always liked the Buchon engine cowlings, damn fine looking aeroplane.:)
That was great, not a big fan of airliners but when they are all together in formation like that I see them in a different light. Lovely and graceful.
Thank you G-ORDY, I’ll look forward to getting a copy when it’s published.
How is the book coming along G-ORDY ?
Thanks alfaman, good to hear the Mk9 Spit is being rebuilt, pity it is only to static though.
Now that’s a bargain if ever I saw one:rolleyes:
Groan……….
Thanks very much for the replies.:)
Thanks for the update DaveR. Glad it’s not going for scrap and as you say pity about F/LT Woodward’s remains.
I don’t think anyone actually slagged Orion off in fairness, but he has certainly caused a bit of feedback on this thread. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but from what view point does he base his statement on that started it all?, is it from his own piloting experience or from a laymans point of view?
Reference the TT, I think it is fantastic but no margin for error.
They usually scrap recovered wreckage.

That’s terrible.
yes a remarkable man indeed, the book is better than the film though.
Thanks guys.
So is it a fibreglass replica then?
