    You mean a taildragger that’s so much better than a Mustang? 😀

    I’ll come back to you on that when once I’ve flown it :p

    End of July was the plan that I had heard, however anything is possible but there looks to be a reasonable amount still to do.

    Anyone have any news on TFC’s P51’s?

    Can only just have stopped as the driver is still on board, just glad nobody was hurt.

    Wow,
    Looks like I drove to work in a ghost today then, Yak 11 fan. 1972 MGB. OK, 3rd engine, second interior, 2nd set of cills, but still a fraction of a Supermarine Spitfire’s cost, and a bundle of fun. Ask yourself. Is your car going to be going 32 years from build? Nah.

    Cheers

    My regular car is barely going 6 years after being built, may be down to my driving however.
    Now I do have a 1972 British car made of fibreglass which is running fine, even the chassis is in one piece.
    Could be worse though, could be a 70’s Italian car, they barely lasted the year. 😎

    Looks fairly safe to say that if I were that man in the picture I would be taking the appropriate steps in the other direction should a Hurricane be coming at me in that manner.

    What about the Triumph variety 😀

    Nope sorry, all rotted away to nothing now together with any other metal british car of the 60’s and 70’s

    Its owned by that strange indivudual who partially restores airframes, then sells them, thus losing a lot of money. Flying A-services I think.

    What an odd bunch.

    PP972 is (was) owned by Flying A Services, not RX168. Flying A would I very much doubt sell anything at a loss it’s run by a gentleman who has had a very good grounding in how to make money out of Warbirds.
