Yet another Australian Coup!!! Thunderbolt New arrival

Hi All

In another coup for the Australian Warbird movement yet another major warbird has arrived in Australia

Seen this week at a Sydney quarantine wash bay facility, P47 Thunderbolt recently recovered from the SWPA and on its way to Rob Greinerts Thunder Factory

Photos are attached – I know very little more at this stage but I am sure we all wish Robert well with this new arrival.

Kindest regards
John P

Listen you lot!!

1) There is no nose. so no nose art is evident in accordance with said lack of proboscus.

2) No it will not be at Leg ends it has a prior appointment here at Caboolture local airshow that day and that is obviously much more prestigous than Leg Ends

3)It will fly but I believe it will require the assistance of a pilot.

4)It’s identity is “a P47” and I believe the 438 represents it’s Harrods check out code (ie: I don’t bloody know!)

More details will be forthcomming as soon as invented or known!!!

Seriously we are all delighted to have this aircraft here and when I know more detail I will let you all know.

Regards
John P
