Hi Steve
sorry, I’ve been off-line.
Yes, very interested.
Thanks for posting.
Cheers

What, no-one interested?

As promised, here is the shot I took of Beijing’s P-61 on 20 November, plus a few other interesting machines in the collection.

Nope, it is definately a real aeroplane.

Perhaps it’s replaced by a fsm replica? That would explain the better condition.
Just guessing.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what is all this about a P-61?? We have one here in Britain? whats happening to it?
Thanks 🙂

Sure, I’ll scan it in the next few days. It’s condition is far better than almost every other aeroplane in the collection, most of which are awful. It at least looks as though the P-61 receives some occasional TLC.

Interesting one Steve, would it be possible you could post the pic, I’ve not seen a pic of this machine for years now, be interesting to see what condition it’s in these days.

I’ve lost the plot again I’m afraid. Having been out of the country for 2 weeks and then finding the forum off-line, I’m not sure whether this has been covered, but here goes.
The Beijing P-61 is still there, despite reports to the contrary. I photographed it in situ on 20 November.

Hi Mike and others.
As far as I know the two P61s from the SE asia area are now in the UK with a company called Gilberts somewher near Birmingham. I am still trying to find out any more info but at this stage that is all I know – I can’t imagine they aren’t linked to the Bejing project but I don’t know that – more when I do know something.
Regards

Ooops!
Thanks for setting me straight, Mike! I guess I’ll go take a closer look at that pile of black-painted junk in my backyard…

Will either or both of them be at Legends?

No Mistery
The answer has been posted for some days on “the other” board. The Bejiing P-61 is apparently linked to a major shareholder in a monopolistic software firm.
