Look what I just found.... and he only lives about 4 miles from me :-o :-o :-o

He seems to work in conjunction with 'Gateguards' who did James May's Airfix full size.

£200,000 for a flier ....................... now where's my cheque book :p :D

Give him a ring & ask as an enthusiast if you can have a look around.

So do you belong to the Cornish Roundel Assc. then?

Already thought of a look round :p

But don't think I want to belong to the Assc. as it looks like a bunch of old fogies ... you know the type - in their 50s - overweight - grey hair - nerdy hobbies - talk to people they've never met on forums :p :D :D

Oh - and I found this too http://www.spitfiresite.com/
