dont know about fliers, but WP308 is a ground runner, and was taxied a few times last year.

Ty Milt, I knew we had a good un, but I wasnt sure how many people knew so was reluctant to open ones gob too far LoL

The list so far then of “Operational Sea Princes” I have rephrased my last from
“airworthy / ground runners”: Bex

1: WP308 @ GAM – Ground runner

Saw Andrew Dixon at the Gatwick Aviation Enthusiast’s Fair on Sunday and he was very excited at the prospect of the Sea Prince flying this year, so it is something we can really look forward to seeing.

I thought that was in store and is up for sale?

That is correct. It has been sold by the Museum and is now diassembled and in storage in Ontario. It is for sale and I have the owner’s address. (See below.)

These are the new owners:

Update, the fuselage is in open storage and the remainder is under cover.

Flying Sea Princes? NONE!

What’s the score with C-GJIE then?

It was reported as airworthy last time I checked.

Excellent news guys, well done. I hope this wont be a daft question, but how many are airworthy / ground runners? Bex
