For what it's worth, doesn't sound much like a 'replica' to me Peter. And my guess is the new owners don't believe that either, whoever they may be. You truly entered into the spirit of the activity. The only other thing I'd say is that it will be a sad day when this sort of dedication and globe trotting isn't recognised and you are told 'Well why the hell did you bother - it doesn't matter.....you could have created all that from the drawings." We both know that is not true.

You and I have always agreed on the centre fuselage section principal or at least a bloody big chunk of it. One point a lot of people have not even thought about - what about the engine. It makes up a pretty big percentage of the whole package.

Good Luck with the first flight of the Seafire and Spitfire Mk XII, neither of which I'd categorise as replicas btw!

regards :-)
