But what is there to discuss as what happens to The Fighter Collection has got nothing to do with any body other than the Grey family.

Brian has it all summed up in one line.
At the end of the day it is none of our business, it’s their business.
It is annoying that some people around have a strong belief that their opinion is the opinion that matters and that other people, often those who own and operate and maintain and PAY for the aircraft OWE it to them to listen and “do as I want”.
My ex-wife coming up with some bull that my daughter is not happy and has become sad, quiet and withdrawn as a result of spending time with me which does not tally with the young girl who was here last weekend and planning to do things and spend her birthday with me. To top it all the ex- sent a letter to me because she has no (beg your pardon padre) spine to actually talk to me and sent a copy to my daughter’s school and such saying that I am not to see or contact her until in the new year (after her birthday funnily enough) so my daughter can have a “break” and decide what she wants to do.
My ex-wife is determined to stop me seeing my kids! Happy to take the (beg your pardon padre) money every month though!

Hi Peter,
I have a host from the fly-ins (including Vimy and Vulcan – both VAC do’s that I was involved in.)
I also have some from other events too including the Grand Prix weekends and normal days.
A number are on my flickr account (For example HERE) but I also have a number in print form.
If I can help please get in touch and will see what I can do to help.

Nice bit of work that.
Do you think the Mercedes schemed Spit is a bit tongue in cheek?
I loved the Hawk scheme though
She is beautiful (as I said on the other thread on this lovely machine.;) )
She looks beautiful!
Fantastic bit of craftsmanship.
Restore it as is would be my 2d.
It is probably a unique survivor and there are “plenty” of original style QM’s around.
At the end of the day it is up to you though.
I want to say for some reason they were gliders. No idea why but the grey cells throw that up
We REALLY need a like button on here!
Thanks for the update and all the hard work on such a rare machine. Amazed at how many drawings there are!
I look forward to seeing her one day (hopefully at a VAC event).

Watching the film it would appear to be 3 Spitfires used not just the two identified.
I have not seen ‘HEKL in the flesh yet but speaking to David(builder) it has flown and is being tested.
I am not into bashing people or companies or the like but I did notice an error on their website – probably a typo but one none-the-less. One page lists “over 140 years” and another just “136 years” of experience.
According to their FB page some oik scratched graffiti in to the paint on the nose.
Now that sounds good!
Sadly I will be stuck at.work so won’t get to see it. I do plan on being at AGM before I go to work though.
