    Wups forgot! Be sure to watch the videos; the first is an interview with Connie Edwards and his experiences in flying the various aircraft in "The Battle of Britain" movie . . . interesting comparisons on performance of the 109 vs. the Spit and the Mustang.

    The second is the start up of the Merlin on one of the 109s they dragged out of the barn. Sweet Merlin Music!!

        The new "Air Classics" has an article & photos about all this. It says at the end that someone in Europe bought all of them including the 2 seater. Good story.
