Cheers..

We are getting to that stage whereas any substantial rubble of Spitfire can be turned into a full aircraft.The Providence issue is cloudy as hell sometimes but I think the correct thing is being done.As long as the parts full history has been noted and publicly shown honestly and from the heart.For many collectors who have accumulated many parts off different aircraft it is not so easy.As Tony noted about 100 Hurri projects donated parts to his pit section.Same as us.Many of our Spit parts are remains of clearance sales that were scattered to the winds after WW2.Only thing we do have is a few Master Contactor boxes with the AC serial number on them.Not enough for providence I,m sure and no way we would ever consider putting our project on the ground with it.
I also would like to appolagise to Mark 12 for my little bit of cheekiness at the end of my last post.It is an Aussie thing and on viewing his later posts now have a much clearer vision on his views on the scene there in England.:)

Didn,t she have a couple of “off” seasons due to engine gremlins?

LoL…

TRUSCOTT, KEITH WILLIAM (1916-1943), Australian Rules footballer and air force officer, was born on 17 May 1916 at Prahran, Melbourne, second child of William Edward Truscott, wickerworker, and his wife Maude Mabel, née Powell, both Victorian born. Keith was educated at Melbourne High School, where he captained the first XI and the first XVIII, and proved a good scholar.

A powerfully built man, 5 ft 9 ins (175 cm) tall and 12 st. 13 lb. (82 kg) in weight, he had auburn hair and dark grey eyes.

You know us Aussies with our yarns…..:D Knew he was a big bloke…Widthways.Yes just finished reading the book “Milne Bay 1942” by Clive Barker and Greg Knight and Bluey is featured well in it.Still a stocky guy in a narrow Spit is still impressive.;)

Ahhh yes….

“Guesstimated”.We use that one quite a lot…:p .

Mums advice….

Finish one project before starting another…Err yes I didn,t listen as well to mine…:o She would be a rare beast if some parts did exist.How much original “pure” spitfire stuff would be in her…?
