Hmm, sounds fun!
Will have to invest in a copy of Today's Pilot I think...
Quote from Genghis:
Why not ready-to-fly? For that it would have to be issued with an ICAO CofA
I have to admit this seems a little backwards to me, although I can see how it's come about. Basically, what you're saying is that I'm allowed to build an aircraft in my garage, with no prior knowledge of building aircraft at all, except for having spoken to a PFA inspector for an hour or two. However, an aircraft factory, staffed by experienced professionals, and with more tools and equipment that I could fit in my entire house, even if I could afford them, is not allowed to build the same aircraft and sell it to me. Does that pretty much sum it up?
Like I said, I can see how the situation has arisen. It's not something I ever considered before, until I saw Gengis' comment. But it will be great to see Spitfires being made new again, even if they're not actually calling them Spitfires!
