Sadly not, it was several decades ago - the story was posted by Steve on the late lamented forerunner to WIX in the very early 2000s (I know it was around the time he turned 50!), from where I contacted him; my hard copy of the mag is god knows where, I might unearth a PDF copy of the Pagemaker file on a DVD but it would take me a long long time searching through hundreds of DVDs to find it...

The Spitfire was PS980 which flew in Europe for several years when Planes of Fame sold her to Christophe Jacquard with the contra prop mod, now reengined with a Griffon 65 and happily rebuilt after turning over in France a few years ago.
