OK, what is it exactly:D
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Correct:)
Actually, I thought these had the Jabiru 6 litre engine.
Can you tell me some more about the ford engine?

I remember some guy (Brit?) made also a Spit-replica about 10 years ago but he did use Jaguar's V-12.

hmm not sure if it was this one: http://www.aaib.dtlr.gov.uk/bulletin/mar98/gbrdv.htm
