A peek at the DH9…..

I think we have our own ones, just like the good cheese, “it all takes time”.

Anybody want to take a bet that it will eventually end up in New Zealand belonging to a well-known film director?

I’d put my left gonad on the line for that to happen.

Hi All,
Many thanks for the video Andy and look forward to the book when published, congratulations to all involved with the restoration long may they continue their outstanding contributions to the aviation world.

Well, it is for sale. No secret there.

It just seems so inevitable doesn’t it? Infact it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s bought it already.

^^^^ I hope it does – means I’ve got a much better chance of seeing it then! 😀

Swedish Hart – Thanks

Fantastic! I am full of admiration for Aero Vintage and Retrotec. I can not help but feel that the historic aviation community owe a huge debt of gratitude to Guy Black and equally to Angus Spencer-Nairn. Both these men have allowed us to see and hear some very special and rare machines. The complex and challenging engineering and in-depth research that Guy has performed over the last couple of decades is something that i for one am very appreciative of. I really commend him for taking on these challenging projects. In time i will very much be looking forward to seeing and hearing the DH-9.

Totally agree with this!
And thanks very much for posting Andy. Looking forward to your book, also

In the workshop at present is a Swedish Hart.

(PS – that is not a ‘suggestion’ Paul!)

Thanks

Anyone care to suggest what the bare bones tubular fuselage section at the back is?
Thanks

Indeed, Ollie.

The whole story of the discovery and recovery of the DH9s from India is covered in a forthcoming Grub Street book by Guy and yours truly that will ‘mirror’ the P9374 approach to the subject.

The first (static) DH9 is already at the IWM, of course, and was in itself a stunning re-creation of the original in what was, and continues to be, a challenging project.

The current plan continues to be that the DH9 will fly this year.
