    The Difference between MOM and the spitfire this year is that MOM involved a huge team effort. From the work by Clive and Linda Denney and their amazing team, Jack Paternoster selling golf balls and managing to raise £10,000 pounds for the cause and the Malta Aviation Museum for helping in the organisation on the ground. Even the timing of the event was perfect with alot of veterans being present and the opening of the Malta Aviation Museum new Hangar.
    Also, when MOM where over, Malta and us Maltese had never seen a Spitfire and Hurricane flying over Malta unless you were born before 1954.
    So this years visiting spitfire, although amazing to see another spitfire flying over Malta would be great, will not be the only spitfire to fly over the Maltese island for over 5 decades like MOM did.
    I can assure you MH434 is not going to be the last spitfire to fly over the Maltese Islands, and I know this for a fact!! 🙂
    With all this said!!! Can’t wait to see Mh434 fly over the island as the sound of Merlins shacking the glass of my bedroom windows is amazing!!!

    Do you have the contacts for the Guy selling the ex-Italian ones? It would be very fitting to get the ex-Italian one as I need the Orpheus so that it can be fitted to a fiat G-91R/1b here in Malta

    thanks

    Sorry for not replying to your question Andy, Mike has given you a correct answer.
    I have since given the airframe a good clean and inspected it. The airframe has been butchered to an extreme state, it needs alot of man hours, when I say alot I mean thousands!!!
    Talking about thousands, it also needs thousands of euros spent on it tooo!!
    Apart from the butchering of the actual airframe, so many parts are missing!!
    Nose gear, doors, all the rear paneling, rear seat, winch assembly, control sticks, control panel …… and the list is endless.

    I think the best option with this HR1 is to put up a list of the missing parts, try to obtain/purchase these parts. And then after the majority of the vital parts are in hand, the project can be started.

    Malcolm.
