In reply top No Mk V Spitfire project ? posted by Gregory Alegi on Tue Dec 11, 2001 11:26:34 AM

according to what the man said.

Pardon me Gregory, but this is exactly what he said...

"As to TFC, it has the luxury & responsibilty of a MkV flier, a project, a MKIX project, a MKXIV flier & a XXII/XXIV project - surely it cannot be accused of abandoning the Spitfire, whilst refining its Collection?"

The reference to a project IS NOT EP120 the flier because it is no longer a project of course....nor to RK858 the MK IX project.

It is very clearly.....

A MkV flier,
a project,
a MKIX project,
a MKXIV flier,
and a XXII/XXIV project.....

Now I can actually count, and that makes.....errrrhhhh....errmmm....hold on a sec, just counting my fingers....got it !......FIVE (5) Spitfires.....TWO (2)of them fliers and THREE (3)projects.....handy isn't it, having five fingers on each hand ?......unless you're one of the Simpsons.....

I also read it very carefully several times last night before I posted my question.....so if I have got it wrong....then I don't really know what to say about it.........but if you have some inside information one way or the other, then please don't keep it to yourself.


By the way Tom, I remember the serials of virtually all surviving Spitfires....that's the kind of sad git I am.....although I AM NOT A PLANE SPOTTER....and I've never been to Greece either.....and I don't want to...lol !
