Again, many thanks, Len Harvey.

Looking at G-INFO it would appear that its pretty close, may even have already flown.

Well done Yak 11. So does your info on the Alcyon mean that it is (or will be sometime in the future) airworthy?
By: Yak 11 Fan - 23rd November 2006 at 00:57
Magister is possibly G-FUGA which flew after restoration in September 91.
The Alcyon being 143 F-BLXV (G-MSAL??) which went to Spanhoe last year

Stearman looks nice, we have a few of those that buzz around here. They would fall into the “starter” warbird category. A bit cheaper to buy and fly than say a Spitfire or Mustang! We had the 4 ship stunt team “Red Baron” fly at our last show in Stearman. Very nice!

That Stearman is Stearman G-AZLE Serial Number 75-8543. It still flies in the UK but it is currently painted in a yellow navy sheme.
Greets,

Is the last pic a Morane Alcyon? I have never seen one of those in the metal – only in photos. Be nice to see one flying in th UK. I have to say the Fouga Magister looks a little derelict which is a pity as they are beatiful little machines.
