You're probably right Mike, but Spencer had just acquired it... Not lucky with Sea Furies was he, though very lucky to survive the prang at Waddington. Shame that luck didn't extend to his motor racing...
Conc, just been doing some research with G-INFO - both the ex-Autokraft Tempests are registered to a company at Gamston, and I'm sure that it is one of those that appears in the magazine article.
There was one owned by businessman who was murdered, and I thought one in a France; are either of these now at Gamston, or are they different aircraft entirely? A number of airframes were recovered from India in the late 70s.
