RE: Any Harts still flying?
Thanks, Steve.
(Mus’ make sure my car-rental agreement doesn’t have a clause charging for extra mileage, the next time I’m in the UK … )

RE: Any Harts still flying?
Snoopy, answers as follows:
1 – Historic Aircraft Collection; Guy Black’s company. The boys who operate Spitfire BM597 (Charlie Brown, etc)
2 – Surrey, I think
3 – Sorry mate, no idea
4 – I think so, google’s probably your best bet.
A bit vague, but hope it helps…

RE: Any Harts still flying?
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 27-02-02 AT 06:47 AM (GMT)]Thanks, Steve. Shuttleworth’s Hind will do for starters … Sorry if these are dumb questions, but:
1: Sorry, didn’t recognise the acronym HAC — can you educate an ignorant foreigner on the full form?
2: Where are they located?
3: Do they receive casual visitors, or are they “appointments only”?
4: Do they have a website? (OK, OK; I can do the google search myself!)
Thanks anyway, and regards,
Snoopy

RE: Any Harts still flying?
Not sure about Harts, but the Shuttleworth Hind is still going strong. There’s also a Demon under restoration at Skysport, and I think I read somewhere that HAC have got a couple of Hawker biplanes on the backburner, Audax and Fury I think, but I could be wrong on that…

Any Harts still flying?
Kabir, Scott, nice ones as usual.
Does anyone out there know if there are there any Harts still flying? When I was a schoolboy (mid ’70s!!) I remember seeing a colour picture in Flight International, which must have been a contemporary flying example. Any ideas?

RE: Pic Of The Day-24/02/02!!
Hi Kabir try this for a pic of the day they dont get much better than this.
This is a Hawker Hart of 603 City of Edinburgh Squadron If I remember correctly it form 1933 or 34
I also have some Harts from the same flying over the Forth Rail bridge but it a little fuzzy to make out the aircraft.
this picture is copyrighted to someone so cant be published but I though seeing as I have permission and its on my site I would share it with you.
regards Scott
