Westland Wapiti to fly again! ( Apparently)

India is on course to emulate our own BBMF , by establishing a Historic Flight.

‘The Tiger Moth and Harvard were selected for the first phase and sent to the UK. The second phase will see the restoration of the Hurricane, the Spitfire, the Lysander and the Tempest. In the final phase, the Wapiti will be revived to fly again.’

The Tiger Moth IS indeed in the UK, and currently being worked on by specialists in Buckinghamshire.

So, who has a spare Jupiter engine for the Wapiti ? 😉

I wonder where India’s priorities are when I read this thread and http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/02/16/india-malnutrtion-feature-idINDEE81F0BA20120216.

People are going hungry and lacking health care in America, too! I find that even more shocking!
