I have seen the odd photo of SAAF and RAAF Mk VIIIs with 4 Hispanos, but I would agree, it's very rare.
 
I think we are close but Rob had an HD crash so its taking him a little longer for him to organize the final package.
 
Hi All,

Yes they are very close, just need to finalise the LF versions, get them over to Kasey for a round of testing and we are good to go. the HF and F versions are done. I would say sometime in the next 2 weeks and they will be released.

regards Rob.
 
And after that, this!

Hi All,

Spitfires are just having a few last minute FM revisions for 6 of the planes, other than that they are finished. I arrive home from work this coming Wednesday, I am hoping by the end of the week at latest for upload.

regards Rob.
 
Fantastic News !! Thanks to all who made this Spitfire Mk III collection what it is. A great addition for CFS3. Very grateful to have people like you all who devoted so much time and effort and hair pulling to bring us all this for our enjoyment and for free to boot. Best Regards , Scott

Hey, Rob, you've got mail.

I spent a lot of time working on the sounds for this project. To date it is the most detailed sound set in CFS3 with several features we haven't had before.
 
But we like teasing you Clive.... They're up :)
