Meteor Flight’s T7 perhaps?

2 seater

I can vouch for that too: have photos somewhere.

It was a mystery for some time but I think a later issue of W&R cleared it up. A WZ-serial if memory serves (which it usually doesn’t!)

I recall circa 1980 going to see the Mosquito at Halton and there, burnt and very, very derelict among the nettles, was a Vampire pod.

And by the way – I don’t remember there being a fire dump at Halton.

Great news: there’s something much more interesting about these replica WW1 types when compared to the WW2 replicas. Given a new-build Spitfire to look over, I’m done in five minutes, but looking at one of the TVAL BE.2e’s at Goodwood took me many visits and I still wasn’t done. They’re works of art.

The way TVAL manufacture just about everything (including the engines in most cases) is exemplary.

Can’t wait to see them!

Can we change the title of the thread please? I love the talk about anything Ghibli, but calling Miyazaki’s films ‘cartoons’ is like calling Michelin-starred food ‘grub’!

RAF Museum are bound to have something too.

Ditto. How I’d LOVE to see this one reach fruition: among the seemingly endless stream of Spitfire clones (which never cease to find exciteable individuals to get excited about them), here is something truly worthwhile that I’d get excited about!

I do hope we can get some good news from this gentle prod.
