With two Atl Carvairs lost in accidents in the last few years ,I would be interested to know
is any chance of saving one for their birthplace?
A typical example of British ingenuity- they are
certainly not pretty-but surely one deserves to be preserved in the U.K.

There are two Carvairs in long term storage, one in Gainesville, Texas, and other (belonging to Phoebus Apollo Aviation, a South African pilot training school) based at Rand airport in the outskirts of Johannesburg, South Africa. The latter aircraft last flew in 2005, and it could someday be donated to an aviation museum in the UK. On the other hand, the Carvair stored in Gainesville is relatively intact judging from recent photos of it.
