Would it be worth getting Nelson to do a copy of his tailplane stubs??

Guys, c’mon!!! No one is perfect, Spencer did an huge bonus to the UK scene with his 3 red aircraft, how many of you know that he purchased 1 of 3 lots of Fury parts from Germany, that lot ended up here in Oz to help refurbish the 3 Furies we did so his contribution goes on!!! this thread is about VX 281!!

Paul was in the process of sorting out the sleeve issue for his engines, not sure that would have extended to making them for others due to liability issues,I have seen pics of a complete bottom end he did, beautiful work:))))

So Ian, have you asked the Smithsonian if they will do a straight swap for your engine?? Surely thats a fair deal if your engine is made to appear the same externally:)))))))

Interesting theory Detective, he would have needed a wide load escort:)))) Mark I am curious as to the other ‘missing items’ you mention, there are no real spitfire shops here IMO except perhaps Avspecs, certainly none like the UK shops, Pays look after their own machines, can you elaborate on what identified parts?? On a different note HS669 looks awesome in that Indian scheme, would love to see a spit on the display circuit in those colours!!!Pete

Cranswick, that is amazing info,really interesting reading!!! thanks, Pete

Thanks alloy, looking forward to whatever you can pass on, hope shared knowledge between you & Dave can progress both projects, awesome stuff!!! Pete

Typhoon or Tempest??? If you mean the ex New Zealand one it is a Tempest, are you able to give us more details?:)))
