: Hi all,
:
: Peter A recently mentioned a wish for a Spiteful reconstru
: ction using a pair of Attacker wings, which of course were
: Spitful wings adapted for the jetfighter (another wingswa
: pstory, try to say that out loud three times in quick succ
: ession).
:
: Have there ever been serious plans to do such a reconstruc
: tion? If such a reconstruction was ever to take place, whe
: re could we find a pair of Attacker wings? There is only o
: ne Supermarine Attcker extant at Yeovil. Using a Spitfire
: Mk 2* tail section and Griffon we're nearly there.
:
: What do you think about the feasability of such a project.
: This would surely fill a gap because this type marked the
: end of the piston engined fighter.
