Some time ago a chap “supposedley in Bedfordshire” recovered the remains of a Hawker Osprey biplane. By any chance does any member of this forum know who it was, or where the remains are now ?.

The Osprey remains found in Sweden, which I believe are stored in the main aircraft museum there, are not the ones that are supposed to be in Bedfordshire.
The article on the Osprey recovered from Scotland, doesn’t say who it belongs to.

if you do a search on google you’ll find an earlier thread on Hawker biplanes on this forum in which it’s stated the Osprey in Beds was recovered from Scotland in the early eighties.

Sweden from memory -recovered at the same time as some of the famous Lancaster remains at Porjus . FlyPast had a picture of it when intact (the Osprey)

I do remember a Ospey remains with a radial engine being found in europe. It was in one of the magazine’s some years back. But I don’t know what happened to it.
