New Texan arrives at Staverton

This pristine Texan arrived in a crate yesterday at Gloucestershire Airport. It was last year’s Oshkosh reserve grand champion apparently and is absolutely stunning.

Nice colourscheme; WW2 Raydon basehack

(made some drawing for this colourscheme a couple of years ago when G-BMJW was painted like that as well when part of a private WW2 vehicle collection in The Netherlands. Anyone having info on today’s UK whereabouts of this one ???)

Will Stav./Glos. be the T6’s permanent home /base ???

Yes. Great to have a ‘warbird’ back. She joins the 3 Stearman and 5 Stampes.
