Rob, I wish I could share your enthusiasm, but I’ve got mixed feelings about this one. Yes, it looks fabulous, and yes I’m sure it’s been restored to the same exacting standards that all HFL’s birds have. But less than four years ago it crashed fatally. It’s just not something I’m entirely comfortable with.

I feel the same as you sadly,This will be the first aircraft i have seen fly again after a fatal accident and i will be very uneasy seeing her in the Air again,She does look great and will be one of the star spitfires on the curcuit in such a different paint scheme but its just the thought of what happened in that Aircraft in 2 men losing there lives that i have difficulty with.

I honestly think we could be there for years and just like the war on Terror this will run and run with more lives lost as it goes on,Its a sign of the modern world.

Worst covers i can think of are The corrs doing Fleetwood Macs “Dreams”or when they did “Everybody hurts” by REM,The ruining of “Comfortably numb” recently,All the Pop idols/fame academy covers they lack any emotion and add nothing to the songs.
Don Henleys “Boys of Summer” was destroyed by Dj Sammy.

The Beatles were a bunch of poncy scouse poofs with no talent but a fair amount of charsima (once Epstein was in charge). Bloody useless hippies.

Sorry to disagree but i am going to anyway,They had shed loads talent and changed the face of music forever,John Lennon is one of the greatest song writers ever to walk this earth and George Harrison should be given more credit than he got,Paul annoys me a little now and its a pity a hole generation remember Ringo for Thomas the tank engine,But they do deserve the place in history they have and i love them along with the Rolling Stones,The Who and th Kinks they rocked the world,Pity there stuff gets ruined by the modern talentless idols.

Truelly Beautiful colour scheme hope to see her at Airshows this year(Can’t wait)

I got about 85% through building an R/C model of her before she was sold – after that, I just kinda gave up! 🙁

Was always very sad that she was sold as a kid she was one of only 2 spitfires i could remember the i.d of,the other being Mh434 and of course there was G-FIRE too.
