Will be great so see here and what an amazing WW2 fighter to have coming to Omaka.

Posted: Sat Aug 15, 2009 10:04 amThe latest issue of Classic Wings magazine has revealed that Murray Miers, owner of the FW-190, has also bought the former Alpine Fighter Collection Spitfire XIV and that it too will be based at Omaka! Amazing news! Imagine THREE SPITFIRES at a Kiwi airshow!!!

Haha
I knew about the Fw-190 but now a Spitfire......
Posted: Sat Aug 15, 2009 1:08 pmNot sure how much longer the restoration will take, but the XIV is with AvSpecs at Ardmore and according to the article the boys will be back into it.
Posted: Sat Aug 15, 2009 1:33 pmThis 14 the ex Alpine Fighter Collection is extremely impressive , the 1995 VE day airshow at Wigram showed it true self from the position i was in viewed the 'power' , one wheel dropped in a rut along the tarseal runway during taxi , the engine was gunned to try and walk it out , only to see the entire airframe flexing under the grunt of the 2000 plus HP , throttled back , a bunch of AF guys run across the field to take the weight of wing and pushed it out .... course away she went .. One pretty 14

Posted: Sat Aug 15, 2009 1:42 pmThe XIV will be a year or two away from flying but will make an exciting edition to the NZ scene.
The Pup had a couple of engine runs yesterday so exciting times ahead.
It will be very nice to have these aircraft at Omaka.
