Title: Squadron of Burried Spitfires
Post by: Hamltnblue on April 19, 2012, 03:39:40 PM

Here's an interesting story.
Apparently there are 20 late model Spits that were preserved and burried in 1945. They have Griffin Motors that were capable of speeds of 440mph!!
I think Aces high should model these.
Did the Mustang ever get the Griffin motor?

We have a Spit 14 which is what these are.

Nope, but it didn't really need it.
