  1. I think Captain Baker's (as in Sir James Martin's great friend and partner in the Martin Baker Aircraft Company) Christian name was Valentine. It was Baker,s death in the MB5 that prompted the move away from aircraft production and into life preservation equipment.

    So he is, I didn't realise that! Thanks for that, always good to hear there are a few of us around who have done important things! Interesting reading about him and the Martin Baker company on the internet. He's certainly cooler than Val Doonican anway!

  2. Dear Val! My full name is Valerii, but one of the Americans who I've met in Ukraine something about 20 years ago called me Val. And since that time I preffer my friends to call me so :)

    Cool, yeah my full name is Valentine but I have always been known as Val. it's a pretty unusual name over here, except in my family where my Dad and cousin are also Valentine. My grandad was also Valentine and used to fly Lancasters, so I have Lancaster log books etc with my name on them!

    Look forward to seeing some more Spits, I'll put some of mine on here one day!

  3. Looks awesome to me!! 3rd ever build?? I'm on my third build too, and it's not a patch on this!!! Mine is still covered in glue, finger prints, and gaps which I failed to fill properly!! I'd be happy with this model if it was my 300th!! Great work and best of luck with your finals.
