That's the only twin sweater in existence and is owned and flown by an elderly lady. It was her husband's restoration project, unfinished when he died and she learnt to fly and completed the project in his honour and is now considered a Spitfire guru and very accomplished Spitfire instructor pilot. I forget her name but her story's online somewhere I'm sure. Inspirational lady.

Awesome Ade, crikey mate you look a bit young in that pic...lol. Hey, I remember a couple of years ago another 2-seater crashed in South Africa, they said it was one of two and it recently came from the UK ? Anybody know more ?

 

[GREGOSTINI]

I couldn't love my bikes any more than I do, but a machine like that really makes them look kinda pathetic, doesn't it?

I was 44 years old then back in 2002.

I guess that makes you about 45 then now :naughty:

The ONLY flying Mosquito used to be based just down the road from me until it crashed at an air show about 4 years ago?

I used to love watching it
