I do not really like looking back as it can be a bit negative but looking forward I am wondering what may be in the offing?
The Sywell Tempest I am guessing will be in the air.
Another new Hurricane has arrived in the UK ( any idea of the owner?) it was at Hawker Restorations for check over.
I think ARCo have some trinkets heading sky bound in 23 also.
Over to you lot
May I wish you a great 2023.

More room at DX! The lads are still busy in the hangar but of course the recent tragedy has cast a pall over things at the moment so the family have other things on their plate bless them.

“It appears newly built aeroplanes from Sywell have a trip to Duxford within days of the first flight, anyone else noted this?”
Duxford has a longer runway than Sywell so might be more suitable for post restoration test flights. Also is Sywell restrictive on the number of day flying can take place ?

Maybe I should ask this here.
Anyone know what is the issues some are mentioning with the Tempest at Sywell?
I know its ready when its ready but it was close to ready last season.

*Electra Junior! And speaking of Tempests the Canadian one should fly in 2023 too.
We have a few fun projects coming up in NZ which should fly next year:

Charles Somers and Rod Lewis’s Mosquito T.43 NZ2308
Jay McIntyre and Rex Newman’s WACO UOC ZK-AEL
Rob Mackley’s Lockheed 10A Electra CC-226/CC-LCN/CC-CLEA/N10310/ZK-AFD
