Not trying to be funny but is this serious?

 

And the reg number of the spit is ?

Mark A

 

Yes, totally serious.

A friend of mine used to restore Spitfires back in the eighties but his business was a resession victim and hence, he has this and one other left. This one is the most complete, the other is a "dig" (crashed and dug from the ground).

He has now decided that he will never get round to restoring them so may as well let someone else with more time/energy have a go.

 

Now THATS a dream come true

Would he like to do a swap with a MY02 Bugeye

If i win the lottery on Saturday i'll be on to you

 

Hi
Where have they come from?
Do you have any history on them
If it a battle of britain one it will be a MK1 or 2
Thanks
Steve

Thats a clipped wing version. If thats the case would this be a MK1X?

Give us the reg details and we can work out the mark and the squadron it served with.

 

and if it doesn't do the scooby 0-60 it'll just shoot it off the tarmac!

bttt for a piece of history

 

Now this would p155 the neighbours off having it on the drive

Free bttt 4u

 

does it come with a high rear wing

 

cool !!
all the best with your sale mate !!!

 

can it run on optimax

 

If you decide to split, can I have the guages? Would need a fair few pods tho wouldn't I!!

Good luck with the sale. Be good to see this baby restored to its former glory.

Nev

 

Yes, if you decide to split can I have the 20mm cannons (presuming its the later mark one shown) to replace the .303 machine guns on my earlier version. In fact if it is a later one it wouldn't have been able to serve in the Battle Of Britain would it?

I think this is a "ringer".

Would be nice to buy a piece of history but havent got 90k

All the best with the sale

 

Yes the pic shows a late one. Not a Battle of Britain aircraft.
Think the mark 5 was the first one with the clipped wings.
If it is battle of britain veteran I would be interested
Steve

 

Blimey! I wasn't expecting this many replies.

The picture does not show the actual aircraft. Neither is it supposed to represent the type/model. I just did a Google image search to provide something that would brighten up the thread. Sorry for any confussion.

I left a message for my friend asking for the reg numbers etc of the aircraft and hope he will get back to me at some point today.
