A local rag, the Kingborough Chronicle, has the story of a builder who's almost completed his 1:1 scale, 9 litre V8 powered composite Spitfire.

I met Rod a few years back at the Sandfly airstrip. If you're on this forum Rod, or anyone here knows him, I'm a big Spitfire fan so would love to see the build sometime.

 

Cheers, Marty

What an incredible effort! Surely he must have had some helpers? One thing's for sure, I bet he's never watched much TV!
