Some of you must have some pictures of pre- **** up Duxford in the 70s.

Maybe the new Management Forum at DX can help??

The rumour is the super hanger is being extended to take the ever increasing number of managers swamping the site.

As I understand it,the former WoGB airframes were carefully dismantled and inhibited for long term storage.IIRC,when the PR.XI was sold and re-activated in 2000 she was found to be in pretty much spotless condition,save some moisture in her wooden prop blades which were replaced.
I stand corrected on ‘969’s public appearances,glad she was seen out and about more than once,and good to hear that there may be some developments in the near future.

The airframes were NOT inhibited.

I know this as a Fact.

Is she for sale, or is she heading over to Greenham Common, for whatever is going on there?

Who would want to buy it?

Good basis for a restoration maybe.

If the price was right.

If you had to have a Spit XVIII, I’d go and talk to HFL.

As we have said many times before,the Arnold collection were dismantled and crated,not dismantled, inhibited,and packed for long term storage.

There is a massive difference.

good eyesight ………yes

Most people think im losing my eyesight for some reason

Can’t think why?!!

It seems to me that if either this or the B-24 rumours had any foundation we would have known about it much sooner than we did.

some people did know much sooner than you did.
