Foxbat Here are the shots of our local Spit. Ain't she purty... 

I was fortunate to meet the owner and talk with him for a bit.  This is a complete build from offical supermarine prints. He could not find an airframe to start with so he fabricated the whole plane. It is to scale and correct. His one concession was the Allison from a P38/J. He was unable to locate a Rolls for it. I was able to get touch close for these shots.  was tough to due I kept fogging the lens... :happy-016:

S~,, cool idea..build one from scratch to spec.. and shineeeeee, too.   

At that awkward age where your brain has gone from " Probably shouldn't say that" to
"What the hell, let's see what happens"?  Me too.

One question?

He has a confirmed kill?

What did he shoot a Cesna?

Lol seriously love the pics. I wouldn't have been able to take them, the owner would be beating me off him with a stick to get in the seat!

Great pics Bong!

This is the first time I've seen an Allison powered Spit. Cosidering the more powerful power plant and the lack of gun mountings and all the wieght penalties that go with it the thing must go like a rocket!
