I think anyone who thinks that the Prices for Duxford are over the top needs a reality check, especially those current pensioners in their mid to late sixties who are probably doing very nicely thank you, as my parents are and who only ever had little jobs. One only has to think about filling up your car and what little distance you get for that or buy a tin of paint. I wouldn’t like to be in charge of setting up an air show there must be a million things to think of.
We know its the Imperial War Museum but its not entirely a state funded occasion, so we shouldn’t expect any kick backs.

I knew that would end the thread!

There seems to be more than one FW190 that landed in the UK by mistake, there is the fabled one that was landed by Arnim Faber at Pembury South Wales and this other one at West Malling? I thought the South wales one was first.

If it is SM969,does a Griffon Spitfire sound like a good idea for your first Spitfire?

Another previous discussion from the good old WW Forum days if I recall correctly – presumably the first thing to do would be to find a spare pair of Attacker wings somewhere in Pakistan. The tail is pure late series Spitfire and IIRC the fuselage is little more than a late series low back Spitfire with a raised cockpit area.

I don’t think there is any information on the subsequent fate of the Pakistani Attackers, although it would be nice to see some in service [ not the usual ones where they have just been delivered] Also its impossible to tell weather their wings were folding but fixed shut or built non-folding from the start.
As for the Spiteful fuselage it appears that the wing spar mountings were further back from frame 5 [as in the spitfire] but I haven’t found a good view to absolutely confirm this.

JU52 flew over Camden in southerly direction straight over Kings cross and St Pancras at 1904 now flying north at 1914.

That’s because it’s in the ‘aircraft parts’ section. A big clue is in the name !!

Have you seen how many aircraft parts listed in militaria and not aircraft parts?
