Maybe it’s a tailwheel job at 15 feet ?

Hello Tangmere, perhaps it should be removed to a place of safety….

i always thought it was a rather nice looking aircraft

FIREBRAND TO THE SKY!? 😀

I am aware of a site where there are substantial remains of Firebrand still buried.

That looks interesting. What’s it’s background Andy ?

I took the photos in the early 90s, i think some of the bits were later scrapped?

I have a fuel tank sender & Throttle housing from a Firebrand.

We have 2 tail wheel tyres in the museum

There are a few bits of Sabre powered DK379 extant in my shed. Unlikely to appear at Legends. Story here: http://www.redkitebooks.co.uk/aa/ex08_Firebrand_Boscombe.html
There were some good paint samples, manufacturer’s stamps and part numbers and a couple of labels but time has not been kind to the remains.
