Just to make sure that we have a counterpoint to the Paul Allen 109E thread :)
Saw this on another forum
AR213 the only flying Spitfire I got back up in the air recently. They took it all the way back to production standard with 3 blade prop, slab sided canopy, external armor on the windscreen, correct exhaust stacks etc.
Painted in the markings she wore at 57 OTU. Ginger Lacey was one of her pilots.
Wouldn't it be something to see the Allen 109E or Russell 109E flying with this bird?

Beautiful! Hope more and more birds get restored to flight worthiness.

What would be interesting is to train the pilots to a huge extent, then have a mini Dogfight at an airshow! 109E v Spit 1, heck, I'd pay a good amount just to see that let alone a whole airshow WITH that in it!

Very nice, just needs to be pink. :aok

I don't think so macleod to put in all them man hours to rebuild them so that 2 guys could HO ram into each other would be shameful.

Plenty of Spit IXs, XIVs, XVIII, PR19, a couple of VIII, a number of Spit V, a Spit II and this Spit I. There are also a number of XVIs out and about. pushing 50 flying Spits in the world right now.

What types did they use in the filming of Battle Of Britian?I recall reading that there was an early variant among the lot that all the guys wanted to fly because it handled the best.They did a good job on that Spit I.Looks very nice.Thanks for posting Corky.

Bruv, I didn't mean with guns, just to show the manvouverablity of both fighters! Pushing them both to their limits

Charlie Brown was the Spit Vb pilot, Mark Hanna was in the Spanish built 109. Took place at Duxford. They had a heckuva rat race.

NO WAY! Spits are the sexiest! :) And FWs... and 109s... and 51s.... and a lot of others! (yeah, even 38s! ;) )
Btw, I think this is the sexiest Spit config, a late production XVI:

yup S! to all warbirds

Beautiful bird. No doubt about it.
BTW, what do you guys find are some good forums for keeping up with warbirds and aviation history stuff? Always looking for more ways to waste otherwise productive time...
