    No idea what they are worth really,depends who is after them and what you are want for them.One man’s trash is anothers treasure and vice versa.You must have an idea what you need to see for them.I know someone who is into Hawker types,so let us know a price and we can go from there.Cheers

    Here is what came out of one of those crates.
    An Eric Allen pic taken at Bankstown circa 1963, after Sid Marshall had brought the crate over from his backyard and assembled in in the hangar. So, original WWII scheme.

    Interesting photo.Why has it got the three exhaust stubs and not the usual six stubs of the mk8?

    Well it would be really great if these Spitfires turned out to be genuine,but somehow I doubt it.Then there would be ownership issues over them.The Australian government may lay claim to them,as technically they didn’t end up with the smelters so they would not have been paid for them.A whole nest of worms would open up.Look forward to future developements.

    Yes Robin Bowes was a really nice chap,I met him when he and Dave Silsbury flew up to our strip.Robin was in Airymouse and Dave in an Issacs Fury.Gosh that’s a few years ago now,when I think of it.

    Before Hess left Britain he was flown into Madley Aerodrome and from there taken to Maindiff Court just outside Abergavenny where he was kept until leaving the country.A bit of trivial information.
