Spitfire Vs Me 109....

[Bob Womack]

I think I would be right in saying that the amount of airworthy Merlins is actually going up as a steady flow of Spitfire, Hurricane and Mustang rebuilds take to the air. In fact there are more Spitfires and Hurricanes (don't know about Mustangs) airworthy today than there where 40 years ago.

And to think it all got started with the Battle of Britain Film and Spitfire Films Ltd. resurrecting as many gate guards as they could get their hands on. I just wish there had been more Hurricanes around to salvage.
