I'm a huge fan of the BBMF and have seen many of the Aircraft on many occasions,but doesn't it seem odd to anyone else that all the Aircraft with Merlin Engines are grounded because of a fault in one? And also it's quite a coincidence that the Griffin engined planes are also unavailable for "other reasons". I know there are Spitfires in private hands all around the World. If this is a major problem with the Merlin engine have they been notified?
Here's hoping we get some more positive news, and they can be returned to service soon.

Seems strange to me though. :think:
