Hi everybody,I cant thank everyone enough for the kind words and support.Terry has vowed we will get her back to her former glory .The wings and tail were brought back yesterday the wings are in a pretty bad state.qldspitty Il drop you a message that would be fantastic anything tail section would be great
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.
Hi southern air 99 thank you for your kind words he has literally put his life into building her.i will make him aware you have contacted and look forward to speaking to you kinds regards steve
No problem moggy I did reply to you but dont think it showed up.Was just stating the thread was about hiring a spitfire not making accusations about my father ive said my bit so I’m leaving it at that.apologies for going off topic
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?
Hi Bob,I will pass on the message.Hope you are keeping well he been rushed off his feet up until last week so Il get him to contact you when he gets back.
Steve
Well luckily I still keep up to date with this forum .My father is away at the moment so I’m speaking on his behalf.i would like to say to you wizard of the nort instead of coming on here and bad mouthing us you contact us personally if you have any issues with what you were sold.we sent you serial numbers and what aircraft it was believed to of come off so I suggest you email me direct if you have any outstanding issues!As for the hire side he will be back Friday so will be replying to emails then regards steve
