And saw this in the Legends blog
“On the phone from the US came Matt to tell us the P-47 had left his workshop, be with us before Legends!”
Which P 47 is this? Will it be taking part in Legends? Is anyone else getting (probably unessecarily) excited?
thanks

Haha, and the flypast post finds it’s way on TFC’s site.
Well done Job Peter Rushen and collegues, keep it up. Personally
I can’t wait to see a Mk 22 Spit airborne in formation with a Mk I
Cheers

see the paint has been stripped. Wonder what paintscheme she will have?
Will keep the TFC guys busy through winter and until the early part of next year for sure. Is the CR42 next in the pipeline?

never mind, there’s plenty more exciting projects on the go.
The guys usually churn out 1 or 2 per year, so the question is, what is next?
Cr42, sea fury, mk 22 spit, la 9, beaufighter, p51 d to come back so not too shabby.
One thing i’m sure we are all agreed on, we sure are lucky *******s having the likes of mr grey putting his hand in his pocket to keep us entertained.
Gladiator first?
Yes there are a lot of good reasons to visit FL the next few years.

I’d like to second that, Mr Grey and all the other private operators, volunteers and support staff….

you guys sure know how to build the excitement at TFC.
Great news.

I spoke to one of the TFC engineers, he told me that although the fusealage is coming back it would be up to 3 years before she flies again!
Give me his name, he’s destined for the chain gang!
Look on TFC’s blog to hear the truth, 3 years indeed.
