    Perhaps there is an advance and retard on the mags of the Mongoose which enables the points to open and create the spark as per Rolls Royce cars with a mag,which I have heard could be started by moving the advace/retard lever.Just a thought,could be wrong though.

    Thanks for the info,very sorry to hear that,I’ve read pretty well all of his books and ejoyed them all.Amazed that he’s 76 now but I guess we are all getting older.Anyway hope he makes a speedy and full recovery.

    Not yet – it was a pre-recession idea currently on the ‘back-burner’ I understand.

    Ok thanks for that Mark V.Look forward to end of the recession eh?:)

    As an aside, while on the subject of this particular Spitfire has anyone written a book solely about MH434 yet?

    I’m sorry, I don’t know of a suitable definitive publication for the Hurricane. But I enjoyed correcting the spelling despite being a spelling imbecile myself, many times.

    Can we all try harder, on the spelling bit? 🙂 Myself included!

    The Guy was asking about a book not about spelling,but then the person that doesn’t make a mistake doesn’t do anything,so I’m told.:D

    Anyone know,how BBJI is coming along since her accident a few years back when she jumped the chocks.Hope she’s up and flying by now.A lovely well built little plane,I was very impressed with the build quality when I did the permit renewal on her before she was sold to a new owner who had the mishap with her.

    we do have old Warden remember 😉

    Yes I realise that,I’m a regular attendee there and have been for more than 35 years,and most of their aircraft are originals.If this rich guy wants to start a museum of replicas there are lots of types that Old Warden does not have that could be reproduced,thats the sort of thing that I meant.:)

    A museum of flying replicas would be great,but they ought to be exact replicas not look-a-likes,as that would defeat the object as far as I’m concerned.WW1 stuff would be fantastic, with stuff like T.V.A.L. make.
