Spitfire VIII JG668 restoration project

[Trojan]

hi all, wow first time ive seen this forum and i have to say im blown away at the quality of the work ....

anyway im posting our project to you all in the hope you can help us thanks in advance

a couple of years ago JG668 was put up for sale as a failed project in Australia, and as there are very few
spits left in flying condition especially mk8s only 4 i think, our aviation foundation was desperate to get our hands on it.
So we had to do a deal 1x P51 Mustang and £150,000 later we got her, we had the spit shipped over from Australia to her new home here in Wales
United kingdom. It really was a shame to see the mustang go though, what an amazing piece of American engineering
all we need to do now is raise enough money to get her finished and flying, so we are appealing anyone interested in Aviation to help us. We need as much money as we can get, to get her flying

The Plan:
Convert the spitfire into a 2 seater, this will allow us to give people a flight in the spit (all donators will get a free trip in the spit once ready)
Build the museum to educate people about WWII pilots and crew who flew the spitfire and to raise further finances to complete the spitfire
Travel to air shows in UK Europe and USA

Anyone living in the UK may visit the spitfire on weekends just contact me from the website auction/contacts page

Thanks all
