Not sure if it would yield a complete aircraft, but there are the remains of a Mosquito in Malta. Some pics of it are below:

VoyTech,

Thanks for the detailed reply. The 17th Feb, confirms a date we have from another source.

Do you have any more information on the ‘landing collision’?

Also does anyone know if there is likely to be an official report on this event, and if so where we could get a copy?

Thanks again

Sean

so in the future we could dream of seeing…

Seafire II MB293
Seafire III RX168
Seafire 15 PR451
Seafire 17 SX336
Seafire 47 VP441

all airworthy and lined up together. Now that would be a sight!

I didn’t know any PR IV’s still existed. Excellent news to hear one does.

Can anyone please tell me a little more about the aircraft? Is she being restored to fly?

Are there any pictures of her? – either today, or as recovered?

Thanks,

Sean

Thanks Mark.

I recall seeing a picture of a spitfire/seafire recovered from the sea’s off Malta a while back, think it must have been this one. Do you have any pictures you can share?

Thanks again, Sean

Could it be in the early scheme as worn by the model in the link above, without any white in the roundal.

Also the link below shows a ‘tail symbol’ similar to that described on the 54 squadron Gladiator.

Correct Flat…my Dad and I came across it about 15 years ago – when we were over for Merlins last year we decided to see if it was still there, and it was!

The ‘scrapyard’ is really someones backgarden now, and the people who own it were kind enough to let us have a look again. I don’t think it’s a fact that the price is too high, but that they just don’t want to part with it.

Some of the stories they have are great too…and some of the aircraft that went there to be scrapped…if only some were still there too!

Here are some pics I took last year. Remains are of a Mosquito, but can anyone confirm if the wheels are too? They look similar to Hornet wheels to me (unless both aircraft hadthe same type?)

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies.

I was sure that some tests were carried out in the UK, and hence had not connected the US trials to the ones I saw on television.

I’ll go dig out the July 05 magazine and have a read.

Thanks again.

Ollie,

It is MJ627, I believe it is owned by Maurice Bayliss and is based at East Kirkby. Some nice pics of it can be fount on the link below:

Spitfire XIV question………

Auster,

your right that most (if not all) mk XIV’s has 5 bladed props. Looking at Robert Taylor’s picture I think they have 5 blades, but it is just an optical illusion as they are spinning that makes it appear there are only four.
