    I think US pilot Art Shroll was killed during the filming of Top Gun.

    And heard a rumour that two US pilots were killed in their Gnat in bad weather flying into appear in the Charlie Sheen film that “took off” Top Gun, cannot remember the name of it.

    Good Post, I think back in them days it was quite common for a company, town, city etc to “sponcer” a Spitfire. I think I read somewhere that is cost about 6000 pounds to produce each aircraft.

    Good to hear John Smith is still around, but really I don’t think anyone knows to much about this guy. When I visited he told me he had learnt to fly in Tiger Moths.

    Have a friend who once visited when the Mossi was being run, runnup complete all of John chickens stuck in the fence !

    Dave,

    From what I understand the FW190 project went quite bad, and it seems was basically a set up.

    The guy who came to Wigram to run the project was brought out to NZ by Sir Tim, after a mysterious fire had destroyed his work shop in the US.

    At Wigram little progress was made with this guy demanding more and more money all the time. The last I heard he was arrested at Auckland airport trying to leave NZ whilst dressed as a United Airlines pilot, he was I beleave charged with fraud, but later allowed to leave NZ.

    This was as told to me by a AFC guy afew years back.
