St Athan had loads from the fuselage replacement programme. I think some ended up in storage at Shawbury

They are still there from what I was told last wekk and they are looking for disposal. There are a few there too, about 20? No idea who you’d get in touch with about purchasing one.

If its for a static Ritch you could try Aerospace Logistics at Charlwood.

I spoke to them approx 12 months or so ago and they mentioned that they had two Hawks that they were possibly looking into making into one complete example. Dont know what state they were in though. Pictures on demobbed dont really show a huge amount. Serials were XX223 (cockpit) & XX357.

Maybe worth a try as some of Jet Arts SHars came from this source IIRC.

I stumbled on this one in a shed in Poland last summer. 😉

Yes; I suppose you may be right:o
Or he could even be looking for a Miles Hawk fuselage, for that matter. At least I got to go look through the files of the Curtiss blueprints and found some very interesting odd ones in the same collection..Various original company blueprints for the American Airplane & Engineering Corporation, Model 150 and Model 200 from the 1920s. Never knew they were there.:)

Please have the interested party contact me. My email address can be seen on the webpage that is listed in my signature, below. I have numerous Original Curtiss Company blueprints for various Falcons and Hawks. Took a quick look and see multi-page packages/files of Curtiss Company blueprints for several of the fuselages, with dwgs, and thorough technical report and analysis, including for the P-6 Hawk.
