Big apology, you are correct! 😮 What an achievement!

It is not the original, which is in the EAA Museum at Oshkosh. It is the replica built by a US-based group over the past 5 years that is going into the museum exhibition for the rest of this year.

This is NOT a replica, it is the original!

It is being put on static display in a special exhibition at a private Bugatti museum in California from next month until December.

Bummer! I say put the original on display in the museum and start flying the replica!

Wow. I knew, vaguely, of the intention to replicate the Bugatti 100P, but not that the project was so far advanced…and I’d never so much as heard of the Mullin Museum. Dang, I want to visit that place…

According to ‘Sport Aviation’, the aircraft was completed in October and should ‘fly in a couple of months’. No news yet then.

No, John Lawson. he designed the gearbox and he’s recently returned from the States after spending a month out there working on the project (all at his own cost)!!

That might be Scotty Wilson? Anyway, first flight is anticipated in early 2014. The complex gearbox for the two engines has been a real headache, but hopefully these problems have been resolved by a U.K. company, S & J Engineering.

A friend of mine is the Engineering Director for the project.

I think it’s beautiful! And look at the estimated speed!

Interesting; a remarkable machine. It seems that their planned first flight date has been passed some time ago though?
