Oddly enough, I agree with that. It would be like a Brit owning an P-38. That one belongs in the US. The Seafire belongs in Britain. Wink

I got to the third picture and my jaw hit the floor. It would be the perfect photo of the bird if only the wings were down. Sad

And if definatly needs to be owned by an englishman and based in England. Like the Sea Fury in the last pic.

Much as I would like to see it I have to disagree. Anyone prepared to spend the vast amount of money & time to lovingly restore a rare aircraft to that condition deserves to own it & get the pleasure from it. IMHO

It's absolutely beautiful. Wink
