German Seafury to Duxford by helicopter – Image request

That is my understanding.

My understanding also, the big challenge being the Centarus, and numerous other projects on hand, the airframe being (relatively) sound (from personal review).

The latest Classic Wings has an excellent article on Precision, including the announcement of a previously unknown and currently un-serialed P-40F for TFC.

I hope I´m not too curious, but please allow me to dig a little bit deeper:
Restoration to fly, source for spare parts or just standing aroung?
Thanks anyway.

One year later (in 2007) … not quote zombie-thread-age :diablo:

Can anyone give us an update about Charley Yankee´s current status?

Thanks for the info Benno,I may have the wrong Fury as it has been suggested that the one coming here is a T-20,I guess time will tell,cheers,Pete

D-CACY was the only singleseater FB.11. All other German Target Tugs, from the Deutsche Luftberatungs Dienst, were TT.20s.

Pic 1, being dismant for transit by Personal Plane Services, 13th October 1999, no door evident on uc leg, although evident in pic 2 taken 7th July 1996.

Hi all,interesting,I thought all the ex-German target tugs were T-20’s or has this had some cosmetic alterations?Either way,a little rumour in this part of the world is that it is coming downunder shortly,YIIIPPPEEEE!cheers,Pete

Here is a shot while in the hangeer with OFMC.

Last time I saw her she was with Ralph Hull . I guess Kermit Weeks has either sold her or decided he wants her in Florida!

Has anyone got details of where it is off to? I take it TFC are continuing their restoration of VX653?

looks like the drop tanks have grown legs as well

Cheers

On behalf of the new owner.

Many thanks one and all for the responses.

This aircraft is currently on its way to foreign climes and it is minus its main undercarriage gear doors.

Did it lose them along the way or were they never there in the first place?

True, some panels and all the control surfaces were removed for the air lift but all images referred above show the gear doors missing.

Unless you know different.

Mark

Actually August 1995 Aeroplane Monthly (though July’s issue had a nice picture of an A20 being lifted
