SPITFIRE MODEL
The Spitfire is flying!!
The
However, because it is such a delicate plane and can't withstand our northern winters,
it must be stored out of the elements.
The plane was built by Morris Towns who assisted in the building of the CF105 - Avro Arrow
that is already at the Park. He volunteered more than 650 hours to build this masterpiece.
Many thanks Morris!!
Watch for it's take-off in April of this year!!!
