Vendor is asking $750,000CAN (Canadian Dollars)

At the current rate of exchange that equates to £472,035.43

And to get it flying would easily cost as much again. So, I believe any serious interested party would need £1 million plus in loose change down the back of their sofa…

I would say that £1.5 mill would just about get it in the air. Engine overhaul and prop & hub would be about 350K !

Seems like a lot for one of the less desirable models, not that I’m doubting you 🙂 (I personally like the low back models, but there’s no doubting that they don’t have the same mass appeal as the highback versions)

Think I’ll wait until Burma opens for business 😀

They are low back XIV’s so even less desirable !!

I recall looking at Peter Monk’s Spitfire resotrations website, but can’t seem to find it at the moment. Is anyone able to direct me to it?

You could look at Biggin Hill heritage Hangar web site for info .

Steve

and Peter Monk owns this one as well?

No it is a customer’s aircraft !

Hi Matthias, great stuff as always! Do you have a local supplier for the 109 fuselage skins/ frames or are they from the UK ?
