TFCs P-47G Thunderbolt

i beleive it went to chino to have the 2nd seat removed and the cockpit put back to stock condition,

I saw ‘Little Demon’ in a photograph over on WIX forum in the summer and it was being restored in the same hanger as TFCs’ new P40b. The hangar is in Chino and would assume it is still being restored there.

Here is a video that I found of the very same P47 ‘Little Demon’ flying a good few years ago.

Hope this helps

ah ah the mystery deepens as to where the P47 has gone maybee it is on e-bay and there again maybee it isn’t

While sniffing around DX yesterday I found very little of the P-47, a few photographs, bits in boxes and some highly polished areas of wing and engine canopy, so where’s the rest of it then, in the USA or lurking in the covers behind Sally B, which was a hive of activity on it’s blackened port outer.

On another note, I had a walk along the outbuildings and noticed through the windows, the yellow Blenheim in large pieces, various wings and fuselages, the cockpit of the Mk1 Blenheim looking quite advanced and the Hawker Hind.
The Hind obviously hasn’t been touched for a while, what’s it’s situation, I know it’s for sale, no takers I presume.

Oh well that’s me well and truly wrong again (nothing new there then).:) The reason is I thought that they all had blister canpoies from the D onwards, didn’t know there were any razorback Gs

Thanks for clearing up my mis-understanding. A bit like the difference between a Mk IX Spitfire and a Mk XVI in that case then.

You know, that is one of the most amusing elements of fora such as these. There are people who frequent these fora, who are, not to overegg the pudding, some of the finest engineers around. It is largely thanks to their efforts that we have the opportunity to see some of the most magnificent aircraft in existence. Now, some of these members are, understandably and necessarily “in the know” and for some unknown reason they absolutely revel in flaunting that they know more than the average enthusiast. This is why James, you get crass answers to perfectly civil questions. It amuses them to think they can assume an air of superiority.

I’ve found it best not to question them because unless you are deemed to be of a similar status in life to them your question will be treated with contempt. The overwhelming air of superiority they assume may give them comfort and security, you know, rather like a child’s dummy.

In essence, most of the answers you will receive will be patronising, confusing, amusing and occasionally very enlightening or any or all of the above to some degree.

As for Legends? It is apparently not the done thing to speculate what will be there until after the event.

All joking aside, we really do owe them a huge vote of thanks for their efforts.

Nothing wrong in replying in mono syllables.

And on another note, just to avoid double posting, was the Watch Office at Prees Heath?

Thanks for the help guys:)

I would imagine its still at chino receiving some attention.

Whats the state of play on the fiat cr.42? Have all 4,8, 12 or how many wings returned to duxford yet?;)

Mike, your confusion is understandable. The G is basically an early D model (later D’s had the ‘bubbletop’), it’s just that it was built by Curtiss, hence the different letter. Likewise, the P51B and P51C are essentially the same, except that one was built at the plant in California and the latter were built at a plant in Texas.

So, a P47G is a Curtiss-built Razorback P47D.

Oh well that’s me well and truly wrong again (nothing new there then).:) The reason is I thought that they all had blister canpoies from the D onwards, didn’t know there were any razorback Gs

Really? I was under the impression it was a C not a G

Its a G model Mike.
