THE SPITFIRE PROJECTS

In November 1999, for his 40th birthday, Tool Care Hire proprietor Martin Phillips was given a present of a single rivet from a Spitfire. With the rivet came a challenge to fulfil a childhood dream – build a Spitfire.

Martin and his team sourced parts from around the world to painstakingly rebuild a wonderful example of British engineering.

After 13 long years his restoration project MK IX Spitfire RR232 took to the skies over Bristol.
