'A Project Too Far?
Fri Aug 27, 2004 11:34 am
Mark 12, on the Flypast Forum, posted as follows:-
"This is a collection of basically new manufactured parts together, with assembly fixtures, the residue from a business operating in the Oxfordshire area, UK, in the late 1980s though to the mid 1990s.
The 'aircraft' comprise the crash remains from two mid air collisions.
Without question aviation archaeological digs will provide the seedcorn for reconstructions within the next two decades. There are crash remains and there are crash remains, whether this is 'A Project too far' will be interesting to watch.
Needless to say the vendor is getting publicity for his wares. We are talking about it here. An eBay sale isn't necessarily the end game."

Hi Peter I thought as much and it is a popular technique in the fine arts field as well when some old rubbish painting or sculpture well past help is "bumped up " by advertising it in an inappropriate way ( viz the picture of "one similar" . Still as you say it worked- I took the bait.

i recieve the info package on these, its basicly a big collection of small spitfire parts.
370,000 pounds is crazy, the guys a dreamer.
for 370,000 pounds i would expect a very advanced project that could be made flyable within 12 months.
even these semi complete 109's sold for around $55,000 which is more realistic.
people need to lay off the crack.

Hi
Yes I believe that there are a total of three of these that arrived from Canada and went to various owners in Sydney and Melbourne.
I had heard that one has left the country and one is still in storage , the other is undergoing long term rebuild
I think Dave from NZ or Graham Orphan could tell you more.
