Where is G-Fire now ?

G-FIRE

She’s in the US of A, registred to Bob Pond as N114BP in a horrible paint scheme.

And why has Robbo deleated his posts :confused:

….and she was only 6 at the time!!! 😮

Why dig up a two month old thread to post that? :confused:

I once had a very amusing time in the back of an AAC Lynx with Jeremy’s daughter.

…….

……..

It was the photocall for the last day of Scout flying and the internal trim on the Lynx fell in on us. We had to hold it up while flying (and no jokes about that comment either).

Was Spencer Flack any relation to the aviation writer Jeremy Flack?

IIRC – no.

Saucer of cream to Black Knight……………..but I do concur. Spencer changed his underpants after that trip. He hardly had time to get bored! He may have been referring to training trips in a two seater perhaps.

Very funny reading his account of his 1st flight in it when he forgot to turn the powered flying controls on.

Spencer Flack on flying G-HUNT:
“I got very bored with it. You sit in a glass bubble looking at nothing because there’s nothing in front of you – even the wings are way behind you so that you have to turn your head a long way to see if they’re still there. There are only four instruments that mean anything, so you don’t have a lot to do; there’s no noise from the engine and you shoot through the clouds in seconds, so you can’t even look at the ground!”

Yep,N611JR and G-HUNT are one in the same.

Hunter N611JR

Photographed at Oshkosh in 2003, was this G-HUNT?

Here you go again BWB.Provacative.Waste of space 🙁

Nothing at all provocative with BWB’s post, this reply however is the provocative one, why not just leave it out. 😡

Thankyou all very much ! 🙂

G-FIRE Where is she!

Saw her in Palm Springs at the Palm Springs, Second World War Air Museum last year. I was informed that she was experiencing cam shaft problems and repairs had to be made before any serious flying was considered.

G-HUNT…..last heard was up for sale in the USA in a VERY rusty condition.

Yes, for $35,000…about the price of a new Mustang (the car not the plane)
V-8 convertible.

What happened to the other two ?

G-FURY…..WJ244…..crashed 2/8/81 RAF Waddington.Wreck bought by Ted Sinclair,Milton Keynes,as a planned composit restoration project in 1985.

G-HUNT…..last heard was up for sale in the USA in a VERY rusty condition.

Sorry about the bad news.

You’ve found a new friend as well 😉

Hearing about Spencer Flack’s G-Fire, -Fury and -Hunt takes me back to my youth, I seem to remember seeing them at Greenham in the late 70’s possibly early 80s, certainly some of the most memorably aircraft from that period.

What happened to the other two ?

Beat me to it Robbo.
