Is the 2 seat Spitfire project ongoing?

Welcome to the forum. The project was completed last year with the first flight taking place on 17 October 2008. The aircraft was sold at auction last April.

A wonderful sight, wouldn’t it be amazing to get all 6 together, you can never have enough Hurricanes.

Absolutely – I think we may well see all six together next year at some point, perhaps in September.

Is it true that they shot down more enemy aircraft than all the other RAF put together?.

More than any other method employed to destroy e/a in fact.

Cracking stuff, mate. Absolutely marvelous! Thank you kindly for sharing.

Could not agree more – wonderful pics!

Demon looks lovely 🙂 So – anyone like to suggest when the last air display appearance of a Demon took place prior to this? Hendon 1938/39 perhaps? It must, in any case, be one of the longest type absences from the display circuit.

Can’t for the life of me understand why they are charging a landing fee when most of the arrivals will probably take on fuel anyway!

Fees are unusual for ‘themed’ fly-ins as they are usually (partly) used to increase airfield revenue at the fuel pumps and cafe. Still, times are not easy now and perhaps it does not work out without a fee being levied. Its a nice place to visit in any case 🙂

I was just saying, if I had to prepare for instance a quality walkaround for a book on the B-25, it would be very hard to find one aircraft which would really look like a WWII one, relating to the accuracy of its markings and its colors.

Maybe you should take a look at ‘Wild Cargo’ – I accept the name is in itself not authentic but every other aspect of the scheme was carefully researched and gives a good impression of the factory B-25 scheme of the period.

Yes it was from a Sea Hornet PR.22. It was still there when the yard was cleared in 1980! 🙁

Hmm, so what happens when a scrapyard gets ‘cleared’? Does it all go for scrap 😮
