Thanks QLD, remember me if you ever do win the lottery. I have enjoyed collecting Spit items and have met some great people in the process. The good thing is I can still marvel at what other people have achieved, can still pop up to Duxford and real Spits flying AND save a lot of money in the process!!
Exactly right and for someone who has collected stuff like yourself you can talk the talk and walk the walk.It is very much our special little club.:diablo:
Only the insane ones need apply.Best of luck mate with whatever you achieve.:D
Gavin, I’m letting my Spit project go if you are interested. I have a full set of NS4 Grade frames, original radio, spade grip, seat, control column, instrument panel with fittings, undercarriage with wheels etc. etc. Let me know if you might be interested. I might consider a part exchange of your girlfriend if it helps
Sorry to hear that your letting it go.Pity I have no cash at the moment,no I didn,t win lotto this week…Sounds like you have a nice collection of stuff.Good luck with things.Never know how things turn out..
The firewalls are just two sheets of .022″ ally with a 3mm asbestos core along with a few stiffeners.With a bit of pulling and pushing can be bent forward to remove the top fuel tank if in a hurry.
There are a lot of products around that will do the job,just hop off to the local hardware supplier as they should have something that will do the job.Did they have them originally?
Good hunting….
Spitfires had half a stick of TNT on the IFF radio set to demolish it upon crash landing.If you look in the cockpit you can see a cover with “WARNING” on it.That is the cover for the buttons.
Right click,save as..right click,save as..right click,save as..right click,save as..right click,save as..right click,save as..right click,save as…..
Amazing set of pictures.Thank you,thank you,thank you….
Wish we had something like that over here..
