To get this thread back on warbird track, I do have some questions.
As most can tell, I have a big interest in this type of aircraft.
My research into this type only shows about 20 Spitfires were converted from the single seat to the two-seat trainer.
This makes it very rare... Although all Spitfires are "rare".
With the recent auction of a similar model for a high amount, I would imagine that parts are quite expensive and hard to come by.
With the damages done, will it be more difficult to obtain parts for this type of aircraft?
PeterA??? would you know?
Regards to all!
I cannot say for certain, but as I understand it, the biggest question is just the money and man hours it will take to fix it. I think most of the parts needed to get it back in the air can be found or fabricated easily enough. I'm sure there will be a few that turn out to be a bit of a headache, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
In regards to the banning, I think its pretty lame. While I haven't read every single one of my father's posts here, from what I understand, it was his arguing about politics that got him banned. From what I can tell, he didn't ever insult people or make anything personal, he just argued about politics a bit too much. I know the moderators here have the right to ban anyone from their site, but it seems pretty lame to me.
I post on a skiing website that is just about completely moderated. In order to get banned you have to be a spammer, or post highly offensive pictures. Theres a subforum set aside for people to argue about politics and every other silly topic, and no one gets their panties in a bunch.
Its just the internet, it's a great source of info, but its also just entertainment. Anyone that takes arguing on the internet seriously needs to get out of the house a bit more.
So if I say that I heard muddy boot's boots smell like poo, will that get me banned?
