Hi Terry,

I feel that Julians involvement with the ‘warbird’ scene was relativly brief. As previously mentioned he was part of the UK air-racing scene during the late 1980s, so no doubt known to the many pilots that also took part. ( The late Spencer Flack also well known in these circles).

So maybe a suitable request on the G/A section of the PPRUNE site would bring forth some info.

Going back to TE184 briefly, part of the refurb entailed fitting the ‘Nick Grace’ wet-wing fuel tank modification. The extended range being required for long distance flying in Africa I seem to recall.

Cheers, Chumpy.
