yep, it was that one. The engine had been running rough, but it was a prop governor failure (which is part of the engine) that caused the ditching : one of the prop blades feathered (!!!) and the pilot had no choice but to put her down in the water. He was actually brave enough not to bail out and try to do less damage as possible, great guy.

yeah that seemed the best solution, all in all the plane didn't sit in the water for too long, and the guys at Meier Motors know their stuff, I'm sure she'll be back better than before I have to say that those 4 props though... ughh!

Supermarineaircraft.com dont build authentic spits, they are 80% semi scale replicas with alloy horizontally opposed engines, if you want an authentic spit built you need to speak with a company called airframe assemblies based at sandown on the isle of Wight U.K.
