TFC CR.42 FALCO

Anybody know the progress on this at the moment or are the spit xviii, beaufighter and gladiator at the front of the queue?

i take it by the beaufighter deal has fallen through?:confused:

What Deal?

As for the Mk18 being at the front of the queue,i’ve no idea.:rolleyes:

Hey BWB is this the Fiat Octuplane that used to be part of the “D. Dastardly Flying Circus”. I do hope it was flown by the guy with the stutter…”Plug” wasn’t it? It needs a bit of provenance, I believe it almost “caught the Pigeon” once :p

You’re thinking of Klunk! 😉

Yak 11……

Are you sure it wasn’t a Yak 9 and two Yak 1’s or was it really a Yak 11 🙂 🙂

Yak 11……

off we go again…..the thread starts to get going and someone has to mention legends. would be nice to see her on the AIRSHOW circuit as from what i gather it will be the first of its kind in the world. As for the yak3 , there was a small article in flypast some months ago that it went to chino, but it didn’t say it had been sold, although if i was to assume it has been (wasn’t it a converted yak 9 from the egyptian air force?)

that was me sorry, would people prefer me to remove the “L” word and replace it with “airshow ” ? 😉

Seriously guys quit it with the Legends threads, they are getting tedious now.

To be fair only one person other than you mentioned the ‘L’ word.

What a helpful informative post.I have learnt that the CR.42 will now have four wings.
The finished ones built in italy and in store at TFC and a new second set that have been restored in America.

This will look very interesting.

Just out of interest who rebuilt the upper two wings in the USA?

Or was it the lower two?

Or the top one and second one up?

Digby and BWB
you should both know by now that we’re talking here about the slightly less well known SEAT Cr.42.
A rare Spanish Quadriplane.
The wings were rebuilt in Mexico by Don Juan San Miguel el Codobes, that famous quadriplane restorer from down south of the border.

Now we’ve resolved that little issue you can both return to a more peaceful place and take the p*ssout of M*gdrop.

If this famous quadriplane is available for Legends this year I might haul my *rse out of bed and drive the 45 minutes to Duxford to witness the event, then again I probably won’t bother.

Love you all.

Oh dear silly threads really do deserve these responses. Seriously guys quit it with the Legends threads, they are getting tedious now.

Funny thing that, I thought it was about the CR42.

BWB,
Don’t you mean 8 wings or is that two sets of wings or 4 upper or 4 lower or 4 pairs of two wings or two stes of four wings or could it be that it will have eight wings the mystery goes on eh.

The wings were restored in America and in storage at Duxford. The fuselage is being rebuilt in Italy and is due to arrive in duxford soon, where the building of the fuel pumps,fuel tanks, etc plus final assembly and finishing will take place at Duxford, which will take more than a year.
