................
The Myanmar government will get one plane for display at a museum, as well as half of the remaining total.
Ahhhhhhhhh, nobody does anything for squat, eh! They all want a finger in the pie for doing nothing whatsoever.
Yet, when the times were tough, of course we had to bail them out.

Rant over ...........
Cheers Tom.

John,
I can understand the Myanmar government wishing to keep a Spitfire for display but, asking for half as well! :o ..........very cheeky indeed!
I dare say the sticky fingered bureaucrats will auction their share :lol: ..... off to the highest bidder!

Still,......looking on the bright side. They might be cheaper than the Hurricane that Bonhams are selling. :)
