Were there any Eagle Sqn members on the original raid and how many will be on the remake? 😀 😀 😀

Hollywood rewriting history again I feel.

Having had personal experience of Hollywood remakes having hired my Spitfire replica to Michael Bay for the film Pearl harbour I only prey that Mr Jackson is 100% more interested in fact. Michael Bays portrayal of the Battle of Britain had as much fact in it as the Sunday Sport. My feeling is that the current politically correct Americanised world in which we live will prevent a true version of the truth. We live in hope!!!!!!!!!!!:)

My latest spat with a film and you’ll probably all laugh was the new pirates of the Caribbean, I know its just a fun film but seeing a British 98 gun First rate ship of the Line, sunk at a single pass by a couple of mangy pirate ships without returning a single shot and then the whole British fleet turn tale and run was too much to bear. Any Pirate that came within half a mile of such a magnificient Ship or even a frigate for that matter with an 19th Century British crew would be a foolish boy.Why does Hollywood insist on making us Brits the butt of all their films surely they can make a good film without insulting our ancestors. Nelson must be turning over in his grave.

Well after great thought I sold it to fund another project, but it went way under what I wanted so its a bargain, I was offed that price just for the seat but there ya go.

49 watchers, only 3 bidders.
I would of put a reserve on it and if it sold it sold.

The new project is still missing the cash so I will be flogging lots more very soon.

Hello Colin

It may have done better listed as aircraft parts, worth rembering if you sell anything else. As a dealer I would have bid more than that price but didnt see it. Listing in the right place is crucial . Saying that Ebays strange one minute its through the roof the next its down. Anyone remember the Lancaster panel that made £10,500. I bought it six months later for £3000, if i put it on ebay (which I would’nt do) i bet it wouldnt make £1500 at the moment. :confused:

Above is a link to Spitfirespares showing the Spitfire undercarridge leg which arrived in the post this morning. Cheers Graham.

Its got a some numbers on it 62607 and 1303 , doea any one have any details.

What should I do, leave it as it is or clean it up paint it ect.

Nice to have a big lump of spitfire either way:)

Glad you liked the leg ,havent posted for a while been locked away in the workshop. The Spitfire rep is really progressing and will be run in public this summer. We are still looking for details on the The Spitfire Mk VIII “Grey Nurse” paint. I have a picture in the Spitfire bible By Eric Morgan and Edward Shacklady of a Shark Tooth spit from the same Sqd . Is it safe to use this to match the colours???, its the best quality image i have as PC ones are unreliable for matching.
