Brendon Deere's Spitfire

[K5054NZ]

Hi all

Just briefly, another Paul Rebauffat-based Spitfire repaint has just been uploaded by VVFNZ, filename "zkspt.zip". The repaint shows Brendon Deere's Spitfire ZK-SPT/PV270 as she is hoped to appear when complete - his uncle Alan Deere's personal aircraft AL/EN568. When I first talked to Brendon about the project he said she should fly by April 2008, but this was a couple of years back, so I'm not sure how realistic it is.

Hopefully she should show up at FlightSim.com by week's end. I'll try get some screenies up soon, too.

Hell yes, Ian! I'd love to see a "Nine Lives" film....must say it'd be great to have a Spit Mk.I/II replica in the colours of KL-B next to the AHC's Hurri.....

I saw a "NEW ZEALAND" shoulder flash in BoB, very classy!
