Amen to that Mr 'T',

I remember the days, but alas, not the actual date, - mid sixties - it came in from Nowra(?)....Schofields(?)... To Rex Av at BK, where it sat for a while, then took off, flew to Griffith, where they drained out the oils and fuel, and put it up on that pole...where it has sat ever since I guess.

A similar fate to the Spitfire that sat in 'The Terrace' Perth, until it WAS removed, sent to NZ, had moulds made, and now the 'real thing' resides inside the Bull Creek Museum, whilst the fiberglass replica sits on the pole outside...

Decorated in the colors of 451 'Bankstown to Berlin' squadron, which oddly enough had no affiliation with WA....
Except that the Boxing Kangaroo emblem was later used by Alan Bond's yacht race team......
However, it's all good....
:ok:

Geez Griffo, the thought of that makes me wince.

So I take it that it is largely complete? The Perth Spitfire is a perfect example.
There is a company in the UK that makes them from scratch too.:ok:

Not so Griffo - ADF Serials - RAN N1 Fairey Firefly

I recall something fro the UK where various 'gate-guard' Spitfires etc were systematically removed, replaced with fibreglass replicas and restored for display or flight.

Re Gannetts, I think I have some pix of one from Caloundra, buried in the photo box somewhere.

So this is actually Mickey Mouse! You learn something every day!

I still wish it was a replica up there, but it's a good news story for the original Griffith Firefly.

Never fly a warbird for an American.

Nice collander!!!

It also 'Slices and Dices' and will roast poultry in a fraction of a second.
Only $35mil a unit if you're looking for the ultimate in kitchen ware. :E

On another subject, this should drive the Chemtrails fanatics crazy. A nice clean chemtrail in dirty horrible filthy grey sky.
