Come on Dave fess up…the Harriers a smokescreen isnt it…. 😉

Your not insinuating it was ~my~ kitbag ? 😮 😉

Yes, there is an article in the latest issue of ‘Classic Wings Downunder’ on just this very subject.

I can scan it for you or they should have something under ‘cuurent issue’ on their WEBSITE .

Cheers…….

I think it was Flyer.

Yes it was. I think the author was a guy called Ollie (?)

Think this was a complete airframe as remember seeing it along with two Piston Provosts at St Merryn when I initially went to see the Spitfire rebuild. Firefly from what I can remember was sold at a later Duxford auction and went to the States.

Whilst there that day I asked for a flight in the Spitfire when completed and was told that it would be £200 for 20 minutes. After that I cut grass, painted walls, washed cars, only to find when had the money that the aeroplane had relocated to Goodwood. Not having the means of getting there, I spent the money on my first stereo. That lasted a little longer than 20 minutes much to the dismay of my parents!!

Maybe, but there was also some ex-Failsworth cockpits which apparently were sold onward to the states for the Griffons to be used in powerboats or something.

Next time you view the video of OU-V’s rebuild at St.Merryn, you should just spot a frame or two with them in the background.

I’m sure Mr Firefly… HMS.Vulture will give chapter & verse next time he drops by here….
