Rolls Royce should be commended for taking the effort to return "their" Spitfire, the one that had been owned by the company for 43 years prior to the crash, to the air. This is not about the rebuilding of a "killer" airframe, the ignorance of a tragic crash or the creation of a new Spitfire. This is about RM689 and the fact that that airframe, loved for so long by so many, should not be allowed to pass away into memory. The History of the aircraft will continue, as new parts remember old airshows succesfully completed by David Moore, and the happier days they shared. Truly they want their own spitfire back, not a new project without a RR history. Why not let them be.
