Hi, if you buy them in USA they will next to useless as they are popular and all the frequencies block up with the amount of talk going on over the airwaves. The UK models have a very slightly different frequency range which means that technically you should not use them but in reality you will not interfere with any other frequency. The staff (I am one) ground comms and aircraft use completely different frequencies. BTW – they do not have to be licenced (same as UK).
Hi Mark, thanks and yes I should have said excluding MH434 as it has at least had a major refurbishment (perhaps not as far as a ground up re-build but major work nontheless).
A quick look in to ‘Spitfire Survivors’ shows this Spitfire was delivered in May 1945 so is now exactly 60 years old. Is this the only Spitfire to have remained in airworthy condition since manufacture and has never been through a major re-build?
Sorry Bruce, looks like you may well be right – they look just like the ones in the link. Thanks to all who have responded to this, particularly Webpilot for the picture link.
