Restoration projects for 2007

I have just started planning out Canberra PR7 WH773 for restoration, to say shes a jigsaw puzzle is an understatement and im afraid there is no way on this planet she will fly again, but my eventual aim is to get as many of the systems working as I can. Between now and January 07 my plan is for surveying & plenty of photos and document my work plan for the year then come Jan get cracking with some hard work.

Historic Flying’s Spit Mk.Vc Trop will up and about, really looking foward to that!

Thanks for the advice Ollie, I’ll remember that with my restorations.

It’s always nice to learn such interesting stuff. :rolleyes:

And just for the record, I don’t care how long it takes to complete this job. We all know it takes a lot of work, time and enthousiasm to complete such a project. So any enthoust will gladly wait. 🙂

I am just so glad that HAC is busy with such a historic important projects (Hawker biplanes,…).

So I still hope we may get some news from this project. Even a little progress is still great news.

Not a restoration project as such but wouldn’t it be amazing if the D.H 4 in the states could come to U.K for the summer.

Perhaps the Percival Q6 in the Isle of Man.

Very much doubt it! 🙂

The summer of 2007 will see a Boeing 40C-4 (similar to the more numerous 40B-4 but with a smaller engine) take to the skies for the first time in more than 60 years. It will be the oldest Boeing airliner flying and just one of three survivors of the 4-passenger (plus pilot) Boeing 40 family.

Now that´s a great project to fly in 07! Thank you very much for the info.

It will be ready when it is ready.

I dont care when its done. I enjoy following restorations as much as the completed airplane.

What ever happend to the Yak 1 G-BTZD from HAC. 😎 I am curious to read an update on that project. I’m shure HAC is still doing a great job on this bird, but it has been a while since I heard something about it.

2007?

I also would love to hear an update on the YAK-1. I have asked here before,with no luck. I tried to email the HAC, at the address given on the web site. But my emails get bounced back.

Perhaps the Percival Q6 in the Isle of Man.

Any news on this one then?

and hopefully a T6-G with a bit of luck!

😮 😮 😮 That’ll be a LOT of luck Rob!

The Bournmeouth Sea Prince – hopefully !!!!

Ahh i see . The story I was told was that the packs themselves are available it’s just the cost of having them refilled and a quantity of the filling fired off as a test is rather expensive.

I was under the distinct impression that the rocket packs had been found.

Several have been found but their current owners will not let them go for peanuts!!

Though it’s not a warbird and not in the UK I hope you’ll find this of interest…

5339, (no “N” prefix back then) SN 10443 was built in 1928 and lost in crash in the Oregon mountains. It’s been under rebuild for the past 7 years.

Anything of TFC’s that they have under restoration especially the Gladiator and the Fiat CR42

Two new Beech 18s and hopefully a T6-G with a bit of luck!

edit – oh, and the Blenheim Mk I would be nice, and another of HAC’s Hawker biplane beauties please 😀
