Blimey, i’d forgotten about the Hunt Boston – just had a quick look on the Hunt Aircraft Recovery site and found some more photos etc of it

I’ve heard a few bits and pieces about Steve Milnthorpe’s Boston but it’s just what i’ve heard off other people so not too keen on mentioning it on here in case someone takes it as gospel and someone get’s in trouble. If I meet him at some point i’ll ask him about the project, a Boston is probably number one of the aircraft i’d like to see restored at the moment, ideally a nice glazed nose bomber version in 2TAF colours.

They’re about three miles away from me at someone’s house, but I haven’t seen them – a mate of mine is friends with the owner, apparently he just has the nose section to restore now, and has sold parts like a wing etc – a fuselage section was sold on ebay a year or so back
C’mon Rob, you know the story really….
Dick Nutt dispersed everything, with the cockpit section going to Steve Milnthorpe who wasn’t interested in anything else (the center section later sold on eBay as you say)
Cees,
Quite a few recent threads, but here’s a couple of pertinent ones……..
