TFCs P38?

I see in the WIX forum today there is some new speculation that the ‘ghost’ 😀 TFC P-38 won’t be coming across the pond and may in fact already be up for sale……

Don’t you just love idle speculation……:D 😀

One would of thought so mark v but with his wealth he could afford a few more,i dont know his plans long term but if he finds these war-vet wrecks and gets them flying thats fine by me i have seen photos of png P38s there is a lot of work just on the wings and centre section.

Good luck to him as for the flying example =yes

Yes he has – two P38s has got to be enough for anyone!

Perhaps we are getting a little warmer,the (ex) paul allen P38L is a silver example with red spinners he also has 2 at rialto calif ex png war vets being restored,by all accounts they will be superb
restorations.

Hope

P 38 does join TFC be great to see one fly again,although be mixed emotions if see it fly after being at dx when califoria cutie crashed in 96.

I think the only P-38 pictures on that page are of TFC’s P-38L. It’s the one with the red spinners and doesn’t have any paint. The pics are labeled P-38L. I would just hotlink them but the guy says not to use them without permission. This is the former David Tallichet machine.

Droptank do you know whats happening with this P38 at chino we would all love to see her,i get the impression its unlikely seems tfc are stalling on her future or have they something planned.

“I guess we will have to wait and see”what are we waiting for mark v,spring i guess.

Lovely pictures on that site as usual – saves a lot of air fare money too. P-38 is very nice indeed and it would be very wonderful to have it over here. I suppose we will just have to ‘wait & see’ what happens next Spring/early Summer as it could not be flown across until then anyway beacause of the weather.

Must’ve been. Either that or his tongue was in his cheek! 😉

Steve perhaps the dentist should stick to looking after teeth how does he know the mossie has been swapped for a P38,was it in the mouthwash!!!.

Nice shots on that link John. Which one’s the alleged prospective TFC bird, the J or the L? Any sign of a Mosquito kit anywhere near it? One’s gone walkies from Duxford and my mate’s neighbour’s dentist reckons it’s been swapped for a P38… 😉

Thanks for that JOHN H that clears that up nicely its all very clear whats going to happen there isnt it.

The P-38 is still at Chino….I heard it is awaiting TFC’s decision as to what to do with it. They are not working on it as yet. Click on this link and you will see several images of it taken last Saturday.

Pics of the 38

I have it on good authority that blah blah ******** blah etc

Well it had enough substance to be reported by at least two aviation publications !

If it’s a wind up, a lot of people have fallen for it !!

It wasn’t at Duxford today, so I guess it’s not here yet. Another one of those it doesn’t exist until it in the hanger type stories, could it be that someone got their wires crossed at some point?

Whenever I have asked anyone over there I have been met with disbeliving faces so I guess if they don’t know then we should just leave it. Good wind up though by whoever started it.
