The Historic Aircraft Collection have just made an announcement regarding the DH9 E-8894 which they’re restoring to flight:-

I realise not everyone has access to Facebook, so the for the benefit of the forum the statement they’ve posted is as follows:-

“Exciting times at HAC… Keep your eyes peeled for updates and a brand new Facebook page dedicated to the DH9.”

The 2013 ITV news clip (included at post #17 of this thread) is also included with the announcement.

Fingers crossed 2016 could be the year it returns to the sky. Exciting stuff.

And just for giggles, a slight spin on the forums running gag . . . . . will it be at Shuttleworth!?! 😉
