Advert says “not sure who made it”, it definately wasn’t the seller, as it doesn’t appear to be held together with plaster of paris….

Clearly on the road to self enlightenment, you have to look at all the scenary, or in this case, all the pics!!

It`s an early Merlin II for a Hurricane.

I don’t know much about Clive’s method of construction , although I believe that it is different to the Jurca design, I can only think that anyone single minded enough to design and build a Spitfire (from scratch)and fly it etc, etc, wouldn’t be thinking about crashing it and the (susequent recovery),i.e failure is not an option; I think he just had some real bad luck, I also think the Jag V12 is a good choice of engine 60′ “V” and all alloy, with electronic injection or carbs as an option; even the Merlin didn’t have that!!
