The recently restored Swift (by Jet Art) will be moving to Finningley to join the Canberra and static V bomber.

That is a simply outstanding restoration, well done Jet Art Aviation and a huge thanks to WK275’s new owner.

It looks a beauty that’s for sure, although we have to remember the stunning job the IWM made of their Vampire T.11 restoration. Now if we can just persuade them to get the old OFMC Phantom taxiing again then JetArt may have some serious competition :eagerness:

On a more serious note the Swift owner has to be roundly applauded for this restoration – as without his injection of funds I doubt very much that complete aeroplane would still be around today!

From a wreck up a stick at UpperHill to this superb result, JetArt are surely the best for restorations of static and recently engine running Harriers.

Great news, looking forward to seeing it after it was saved at the 11th hour.
