Fighting Irish Forums

Folks, some of you may remember the green Irish Spitfire that was being renovated when we had our meeting in Duxford for the Airshow 2005. Some time later I learned from one of our at-the-time members (was it in 2007...?) that the bird is airworthy and is owned by some company/corporation/I-have-no-clue-what and it is kinda possible to have a ride in the airplane if you donate some (much enough) money for some charity or so. However, I can't remember who was the FI member that told me so...one of you younger members for sure.

Does anyone have a clue whom this Spitfire belongs to? A collegue asked me if I could try and find it out as there is an idea of making one of the very few surviving Polish WW2 Spitfire pilots to have a ride in this bird, if such possibility exists.

I would be greateful for any hints.

You mean this one?

I know when I went to the Spitfire aniversary airshow a couple of years ago she was taking people up in her so I can't see why she wouldn't for an old pilot .

It does cost though but if I could ever afford it I would give away my missus to get a ride in it. Hell I would give away the missus for anything
