SV Aircraft SV X1 Famate-Mantis / Mantis

TerryLeave a comment

The SV Xl takes on the sleek lines of the SV series of aircraft from the Veenstra factory. The approach this time is to cater for people who admire the glider lines but would prefer conventional performances. The Xl will have sprung main wheels and a V tail. The owner will have the option to purchase the SV Xl without the sleek cockpit and fly in the breezy aluminium frame that is hidden under the fibreglass skin. Aircraft marketed as Mantis in New South Wales, Australia.

Supermarine Aircraft Spitfire Mk.25

TerryLeave a comment

It all started when Mike O’Sullivan in the very early 90s built the first all metal 75% Spitfire reproduction. Mike built the first one and word soon got around about the quality and likeness to the original spitfire that people where asking him to build them a spitfire. This got Supermarine off the ground and running.
