BBC's amazing detail as normal. 36ft long? 29ft wide?

Do they mean 36ft span and 29ft length. Would have taken 2 seconds to look that up on the net. Call themselve professional journalists...

I've known about this one for a little time. Impressive work and quite a long way ahead of me in terms of construction

I'll agree, very impressive. Do you know what the intentions are of the builder Mark?

Get her airborne and then sell her to raise money for a charity related to her sons condition (I can't remember what that is at the moment).
They haven't set ground-testing dates yet but late this year or early next year are the provisional ones. If I hear more I'll of course make suitable posts

The Spitfire she was building had registration X-TD I believe, and if you look here, you'll find that X-TD is the aircraft used in the BBMF.......



(thanks to the RAF website for their BBMF Screensaver)

So does that mean that X-TD has crashed before???

XT is just a Squadron code (603 Sqn in this case), D the individual letter for the aircraft.

P7350 (the aircraft's military registration/identity, which doesn't change) is the BBMF's Mk II Spitfire and the only surviving BoB Spitfire. They change the paint schemes in the BBMF every 5 or 6 years. I think this on may be up for a change at the end of 2006...

Mark, which version are you building?

A Mk. IX with the Soviet two-seater modifications (and boy is it giving me headaches)!
