Dave, Terry, Thanks!
That must indeed be the one. On the Grace Spitfire website they also offer a DVD covering the TV show from the eighties......that would be the show I remember. And there is a wee-bit of the show on youtube showing the first engine starts of the spit after restoration. thanks, Alex p.s. Such a small world. I just realised that this particular Spitfire was one of the three seen in the "Top gear vs. The Germans" episode I just watched last week!

oh my ...clicking on that link brings up that oh sooooo lovely sound of the engine on flypast..oooooOOOOOoo So good to know its being flown and not stuck in a museum as a statue, or worse, atop a concrete pylon.
by the way, you do know the famous spitfire wings were designed by a Canadian, eh?

Those 90% aircraft are probably Mike O'Sullivan's machines. Mike is a CMP owner (drove from Istanbul to Normandy with us in his C15A).
The design is absolutely outstanding and has developed from a small homebuilt "toy" to something that is unrecognisable quite close up from a real aircraft. The handling and performance are outstanding and it will outclimb a real Spitfire. Mike has just shifted his whole operation to USA taking some of his key people from Australia and has resumed production. I hope the Oxford venture gets up. Lang
