Ex Tallichet/FHC P38L Sold

Firebird only time will tell???:confused:

I wonder if this license restriction will have implications for the Tigercat and the continuing restoration of the Beau….??
Pressumably it was also a factor in the alledged disposal of the Mossie….??

Question, why swap an aircraft….which you cant fly, for another aircraft….which you cant fly???????

My guess is that Mr Grey has more than the CAA to beat if he really wants to fly the Beau. There is more chance of his number one Son flying it than him. Old farther Time is ticking 😀

She will look gorgeous when she does fly though.

Anyone out there gonna bring me up to speed on the ‘alleged’ disposal of the Mossie, I’ve seen it several times implied that this aircraft has not been sold? Has it, hasn’t it, whats the story? I know I saw it road running on the A11 last year heading for Norwich but further to that …?

Without Mr Greys restrictions on weight of type we may well of seen a new P38, our loss is somebody elses gain for sure, but i am sure he will not let this case hold him back we have a P39 to look forward to.

Attempting to get this slighlty back on thread……;)

I can’t believe you told them all Ashley it is terrible, at least you didn’t let it slip about the Hailfax being finished at Hendon and bought over for a one day apperance!

Bless her I think she has been down the model shop again! 😀

We are in fine form this morning Learning Slowly, what is Ashley going on about seeing a P38 this year ???.

He didn’t look that big to me the other week!!:)

Like most people on this forum i am very dissapointed but not suprised the P38 will not grace these shores, we will have to all remember the good old days when TFCs P38 was the most popular a/c in the collection, in fact the star of the fleet.

Don’t believe he has a twin rating anymore…maybe wrong though. Someone out there knows more than me…actually most.

I’ve just seen this post on the Planes of Fame forum by John Hinton:

Anyone have any info on these new ‘restrictions’?

Cheers

Another P38 rumour oh goody 🙂 Lets see if we can get this one in Flypast too.

Looking into my crystal ball I predict a P-38 for Flying Legends…either the ex Tallichet example or Glacier Girl…let’s wait and see if I’m proved right or wrong…:)

Glacier Girl…………..:eek: 😮

That’d mean it’d be finally arriving at it’s destination a mere 61 years after originally departing….:D

Could be good publicity in that idea…….

How easy is it too dismantle, crate and re-assemble the odd arrangement of a P-38 though…..:confused:

Well maybe Mr Friedkin has bought it. 😉

If he has, then I suppose there is a chance that a P38 might grace the UK skies again, if only for a short period! :p

I hope the owner is West Coast. The closer to Arizona the better! 🙂

That’s a real shame, I was hoping we’d see one flying here again
