    The plot thickens,but it is very interesting.So what happened to AB871 then after Bridgenorth.Was it scrapped?,as I don`t believe this one is still around is it?.

    Have you tried LAS.They used to do it,but it`s a while since I bought any so can`t be 100% sure.

    Thanks Mark 12.thats some confusion sorted .I had been told it was a Hurricane, no wonder I couldn`t trace it. While we are on the subject,was that the Vampire that Hereford ATC had afterwards?

    THanks for the gen DazDaMan,an interesting website.He is certainly an accomplished builder.I`ll look forward to seeing the Spitfire airborne in the future.

    Hi DazDaMan,whats the gen on the 75% Spit.Is it wood or metal construction and what engine is being used?

    Funny that you have posted a thread on the Hawk 75a.I have just finished reading an article about them in a 1970 issue of Air Classics.I have always liked them ,they just look right somehow.In the article it states that Farnborough tested a French Hawk against a Mk1 Spitfire and in maneouverability it could out turn the Spit,which quite surprised me.You learn something everyday.
