Bit of an open one here, but does anybody have any updates around the following aircraft:
Scandinavian Historic flight P51 and A26
Sabena old timers Lysander
DBAF B25
Alpine fighters Hurri
and also these restorations:
Tempest (from tempest 2 ltd awaiting centaraus)
Seafire (The one that had been restored, and had engine runs and then stripped down again)
All of these have gone rather quiet this year…….
Cheers

I believe the seafire was owned by wizzard investments??
An update on the kennet example would be most welcome I’m sure!!
Out of curiousity, when was the last time the b25 flew?

The DBAF B-25 is at EHGR and has been re-registered as PH-XXV sometime in 2010. Officially she is now part of the SKHV (www.skhv.nl) or ‘Royal Dutch Airforce Historical Flight’.

How is your tempest comong along at PPS Tom?
Not bad thanks, hope to have the fuselage together before Christmas so we can start applying the camo, interior and fwd fuselage is being refurbed at present.
Wings are ongoing, doesn’t help when they had been left in a dried-up riverbed in India which turned into a full-blown river on a regular basis, the lads were digging silt out for quite some time so you can imagine what that did to the internals, made worse by somebody hacking off parts of the trailing edges…..
It’d be nice to get Harvey Sweetman sat back in her when she’s all together at some point but he’s a long way away from either the UK or Polk City 🙁

The Alpine Fighters Hurricane P3351/DR393/ZK-TPK is still currently registered to the Alpine Fighter Collection.
Last time I saw it, about a year ago, it was parked in the display hangar at Wanaka. I don’t think it has flown recently.
Attempts to sell it, probably to an overseas buyer, were apparently stymied by legal complications.

Bit of an open one here, but does anybody have any updates around the following aircraft:
Tempest (from tempest 2 ltd awaiting centaraus)
Seafire (The one that had been restored, and had engine runs and then stripped down again)Cheers
The Tempest is still awaiting a Centaurus I understand.
Seafire – stored at Greenham Common last I heard…
