The Chronicles Of A Very Amateur Spitfire Builder: Article1

The first in a series of articles covering the building of a Spitfire variant by a rank amateur. The author intends to share every last little detail right from the beginning of the project to its completion. By the time you have completed the collection of articles in this series you will not only know all the techniques, legal requirements and useful contacts, but you will have your hands on the plans for the new aeroplane too (plans would normally cost an arm and a leg)! If a rank amateur can do this, so can you! In this article the author sets out his stall and shares his ideas with you.
