RE: SER1 1948 Spitfire reconditioning

Would having the manufacturers plate and making everything else constitute 
a "historic aircraft" or a "historic aircraft manufacturers plate" with replica aircraft?

I believe they can also replicate the manufacturers plate!

 Tom,
 
 One of the "restorers" in England says that if you have the 
 manufacturer's plate then they can restore your Spit. - No other parts necessary!
 
Don't know what the bill would be though.

Funny you should say that Wayne, because I have actually got the remains of a Spit 
in a barn.  When I say the remains that is what I mean, it 
 crashed nearby in '47 and the farmer who rented the barn salvaged some and stored it 
inside.  The rest has been salvaged by souvenir hunters over the years, 
so I doubt it will ever fly again.  Mind you Series 1's have returned from less
!!

I wouldn't charge more than a modest handling fee to dispose of it on your behalf.

P.S.  Diana, if I'm slurring my words it is due to the lingual

I don't guess that an RV10 would be a historic aircraft once you 
 did a quick build on it would it?  I think Allan would prefer a Mk 10 
Supermarine Spitfire or even a North American P51D for cruising at or above 
200MPH and yes he would have to pay for either of those.

And build an RV10 quick build...TIO540 constant speed prop,
What a nice machine...and wouldn't it go....cruise at 200mph....
You might have to get a second job to pay for it though!....:o)
