ORIGINAL: FLYBOY
Man, I was way off, I wonder what I was thinking. There was a crash in Great falls a few years ago and they did an article on it that it was the last flyable one. Thought it was that one.
Flyboy, the crash in Montana was Mk.XVIII TP298 which basically flew into the side of mountain in bad weather. Believe it or not, that was back in 1994! Time flies eh? At that time it would have been the only flyable XVIII in the States (or anywhere else I think) but was certainly not the only Spit flying in the US at that time despite what may have been reported. Too bad, a very nice airplane. (It is being rebuilt in the UK I believe)
