Posted: Mon May 09, 2005 7:16 amIt's a replica of K5054 the Spitfire prototype. Note those late model link type undercarriage legs, I reckon Ozzy could use those on "Binky."
Posted: Mon May 09, 2005 8:00 amShould point out that it's a static model. I think it's made from glass fibre. The Mk I Spitfires used in the early days of the BoB had similar two-bladed props although I believe they were variable-pitch.
Posted: Mon May 09, 2005 8:06 amIt's actually the Clive Du Cros made (formerly) flying replica. It's made of wood primarily, and was powered by a Jaguar V12. After a couple of mishaps, I think they decided that it was better on the ground, and it is now owned by Solent Sky, and used as a travelling exhibit...
Here's its history...
