F86 Sabre Luftwaffe

This is just a general enquiry?? Next week I am bringing a Luftwaffe F86 fuse section back to England. Does anyone on this site know how many F86s are in the UK /England?/

Thank you for that info. I could not recall seeing one whilst on my travels quite thin on the ground. I went to collect the front fuse section a couple of months ago however there was a problem with the width so the back end came first.
Are you the gentleman I spoke to a few months ago regarding a seat and radar cap? If so could you pm me. Thanks once more PC

I am indeed: PM sent.

F-86D 51-6171 at Sunderland/NEAM
Sabre 4 XB812 at Cosford/RAFM
F-86A 48-242 at Coventry/MAM

Rear fuse of Sabre 5 23140 at Coventry/MAM
F-86L canopy at Manston museum (they think it’s F-86D but it’s not)
Various wreck recoveries – mainly RAF.

Plus a few bits with collections: Newark did have a nice RCAF Sabre 5/6 speed brake panel for instance. Somewhere will be the stuff I loaned to Jet Heritage years ago, plus I have a few odds & sods.

PS – saw your rear fuse had arrived already!
