    Thank you all so much .I will keep you all updated with our plans .I am hoping to get a crowd funding set up as even though we do have a few spares alot of the aircraft is going to have to be rebuilt which will be 100s of man hours as many of you may know.Your support is very much appreciated we will keep you informed on our plans

    Hi everybody its Terrys son Stephen.We very much appreciate everyones kinds words and support at this time.My father is devastated at what happend yesterday to the aircraft .Whether or not if its a real spitfire Il let you argue that out between yourselves we have lost a life longs work and more importantly his livelihood.We will be releasing details of what we plan to do in the future once we have properly assessed the damage.We are just glad nobody was injured in the incident and hope she will be back so we can keep showing her around the country for the public to see.

    Ok sir!well I’m well aware of the ins and outs and lets just say you were made well aware of what you were buying and we could only go by what we knew of the history of the piece in question.Im not trying to point fingers or say who’s right or wrong I’m just making a point of saying there’s no need to publicly post it on here.The only thing I am questioning is your last few lines are you suggesting we made the spinner?
