What happened to Spencer Flack's warbird collection?
Does anyone know what has happened to all of Spencer Flack's aircraft, please?
I remember seeing a couple of them at Cranfield in the late 70's/early 80's...Sea Fury, Hunter, Spitfire. Always remember the bright red livery of his planes...and his Beech Baron too. On one occasion he upset ATC at Cranfield when having professional photo's of his aircraft done. The Sea Fury was in the wrong position by a relatively small amount and rather than have is pushed into position, he started it up and did a 360 donut on the main taxiway without using his radio....the tower crew were not impressed  Great man with a huge personality.

Thanks for the links.....oh to see those planes in the air with the man at the controls again...sadly not to be, but it was good to see them up where they belong and in the hands of a master...albeit a slightly crazy master, perhaps
