Thanks for the quick response, have sent you an email.
My dream is to take both out to Malta and have them flown over the Grand Harbour.

Have started the historical page at http://fighter-collection.com/cft/fiat-cr-42/ As soon as format of page is fixed will post images of the restoration.

We obtained an immaculate tail strut from our friends in Sweden, still had fluid and pressure in it. Having the fluid analysed so we can find a modern equivalent.

Looking for a BTH AVA compressor.

Will swap for any bits of Mossie or Hawker biplane. Or if that doesn’t work will just give it to you for free as long as you cover the postage. Australia. Does turn, but needs a good clean out. Probably has poisonous spiders in it ! Would be nice to see a CR42 and Gladiator in the air at the same time. Over the Parthenon or Abbasynian dust. Glory days.

Thanks for your response guys, missed them, it got buried.

Have just started to post the story of the restoration on the TFC web site. Start with the story of the first CR-42 at Duxford in 1941! I was told the story by an ex-Navy Duxford villager who worked on the AFDU but lived out with his parents in the village. I thought it was a Navy yarn but it turned out to be true.

Shame, I assumed TFC had all of it. Best of luck.

I think I have some of the end fittings too.

Hello Beaufighter VI,

LAS and Thameside are listing most of the AGS bits you’re after. As for the Bosch genny have you tried Daniel Koblet? I should think he’d know who might be able to help.

…how much do you have?

Quite a bit! 😉
