    That would be the plastic Spitfire repainted by Clive (Vintage Fabrics) at Earls Colne, probably about 4 years ago, I believe it was used as a promotion for the Breitling Fighters.

    For $700,000 more you could have the worlds only airworthy Shackleton MR2

    That’s a shame, it’s bigger than my garden, looks like I’d better rent an allotment from the council.

    Bigger than the wing I would hope, if anyone has an unloved Mosquito I would take it off their hands for a small fee (bit like a scrap dealer would with an unwanted car :p ) I will also take unwanted Mustangs under similar terms

    Wasps are pesky horrible things that need swatting, there is no need to have any at airshows, they get caught in your ice cream.

    I think Mossie is supposed to be spelt Mosquito.

    My guess would be the Mark 21 (LA…..) at the Vickers Headquarters during the 70’s. If I wasn’t at work I could look it up and tell you. I could be very wrong though 😀

    So you do the same as me then……………………close your eyes and hold on until the ground stops thumping on the wheels.

    That would make someone think when they fire it up for the first time and the torque takes them off the runway in the opposite direction………………………..backwards 😀 😀
