Thought it might be interesting to find out what others peoples ‘most eagerly awaited’ restoration to flight status project is.
My list is:-
TFC Beaufighter
TFC Fiat CR.42
MAAM P-61 Black Widow
Seafire FR.47 at Nelson Ezell’s
Bob Jens’s Mosquito B.35
Pete Vacher’s Mk1 Hurricane
I would like to include the former Flying A, now FHC FW 190, but not sure if it will ever be flown or we’re ever likely to see it, and similarily Kermit’s Tempest V, will they really risk flying a Napier Sabre, if they ever get it running:confused: 😮
And if I really entered the realms of fantasy land I would also include:rolleyes:
The D**k Melton Walrus project
The ex-Jet Heritage Swift project

TFC La11(please get this one going)
Blenhiem(miss her already wanna see her fly again soon)

I’m an easy-to-please kinda person, so I’m looking forward to IAC 161 (PV202) in her Irish Air Corps markings.
Plus…
RACo’s Buchon! 😀
Buchons kick ass 😉

D1ck Melton’s Walrus, and any C-30 Autogyro. The Spanish have built a replica, and flown it, but I ain’t seen it and I don’t think it’s going to be an airshow regular!
Cheers

Since the Swift F7 is now with the Southampton Museum, I don’t think that we can count this as a potential flying restoration now, Firebird.
I wondered what had happened to it……
I did say those last two would have been included only had I drifted into the realms of fantasy land……;)
