A quick question for the knowledgables amongst our friendly group.
What has happened to the PT Flight owned by Bob THompson. In the last edition of Wrecks and Relics (I havnt bought the latest) it states they are at Cosford. Are they still there? Are they still flying? do they still perform at airshows? Always thought a very different and somewhat cute display act. Esp loved the Vultee Vibrator

The Vultee Valiant has been moved from one of the Lamella hangers and into open storage on the northern side of the airfield near to the museum.
Not great light when I snapped this with my mobile phone camera.

I think the name was Bob Mitchell?
I think this subject came up a while back. Try a search

The PT Flight aircraft are mostly still at Cosford in a Lamella hangar on the SW side of the airfield. I had a look in there a couple of weeks ago and was distressed to see the condition of some of them. The Vultee Valiant in particular sat there on flat tyres covered in Guano. No sign of any engine or airframe inhibition was evident. No sign of the Cornell or one of the PT22s either. I am flying at Cosford next Saturday so I will try and get some pics if the hangar is still open.
