So we all like to see accurate paint schemes that have previously been worn by a specific type of aircraft? That is what we are saying isnt it.

So when I win the lottery buy myself my long desired airworthy low back Spitfire XIV I am then able to paint it as G-FIRE without everyone moaning?

I will after all be sourcing the correct shades of red, white & blue. And remember a Spitfire has already worn this scheme so it is historical no to ways about it.

Arnt I naughty with my big wooden spoon :diablo:

As someone who also observed from a distance and didnt comment on the previous thread I agree with Kev35 and say the forum is indeed a source for a great deal of information.

Im certainly a lot more clued up on the in’s and out’s of Spitfire nose trim instruments. :rolleyes:

On a seperate issue does anybody know where the Anson went that Mr Adlam had up for sale on ebay recently?

Seems some people just had to much time on their hands 😉

I know that the Old Flying Machine Company own or did own a UK Phantom. Was that purchased with the intention to fly on the civil register or was it just to have an aircraft that Mark had flown?

Very much agree with you Roy,

I have been in the market myself recently and although sources like wrecks and relics are an invalauble guide to sourcing an aircraft these publications dont hold all the answers.

In fact most of my leads came from people I know or through a friend of a friend.

To pool all that information in one source would be very very beneficial not only to prospective buyers but also with regards to saving airframes.

How feasible would it be though? I remember when I posted a thread enquiring about aircraft in srcapyards whilst searching for an airframe.
THe answers I received back (some being a little short and rude) were we dont do that on this forum as scrappies get annoyed about non serious buyers going just to look at an airframe and take pictures. The thought was these time wasters would just speed up the scrapping process.

Im sure there was somestuff out there I would have loved to acquired but missed out on as I was unable to find out details,

A vicsious circle 😀
