ORIGINAL: Walloc http://www.raf.mod.uk/bbmf/theaircraft/spitfiremk356.cfm Here is a bit about the history of the plane. Funny I finnished just reading a book containing some of George Ockenden's description of the battles he participated in later in the normandy campaign. Spitfire TE311 is a low-back/bubble-canopy Mk XVI with ‘clipped’ wingtips. Some 58 years after it last flew, TE311 will be back in the air in 2012, having undergone a painstaking re-build to flying condition by BBMF technicians, which was started in October 2001. 11 years??? u guys have to much fun posing for photoes and too little work being done.[:'(] Painstaking... doesnt sound like how u descripe ur work Dixie [;)] Kind regards, Rasmus Don't blame me, I wasn't even in the RAF 11 years ago! [:D] Plus I spent the last 8 working on large aircraft. [;)]
