Thank you James – you see my point perfectly. That Focke Wulf took up 6 years of my life.

And Mr Staz…..

im sure he had something to do with it as well…….

Is this the Fury that used to fly from Yeovilton with ‘D Day’ style stripes on the wings that I remember watching on many a school day when I should have been fielding in the 80s or I remember somewhere hearing it had been written off, sorry for the slight thread drift?

No.

That would be TF956 an FB.11.

Just give me a week or two and I will show you one!

A week or two?

How long is this refurb going to take?:)

I know which one it is.

I also know that its parking on slot number 6.

But if i told you it wouldnt be a mystery would it?

You will know soon enough.:)

What really surprises me is that they don’t seem fit to book one of the EADS 109/ Buchon’s for Legends.

“They” try very hard to put something new in front of “you” every year.

Do you really think that a collection such as TFC have not been down every
route to secure these aircraft or others that are based in europe to get them to Flying Legends?

I know for a fact “they” have a list of every historic aircraft based in europe.

These operators are asked to attended each year,including the ones you mention, some reply ,some dont.

So it is not a case of “them” not seeing fit to book a certain aircraft.

Seems a strange one to have her refurbed and then sold on.

Er…. ML417, SM832 ,NH799, SM969, Hurricane IV, P-51C

All refurbished then sold on…….

But what do i know…….

Are there any significant Spitfire drawings that exist outside of the RAFM collection?

Yes.

Think you will find thats a primer used in NZ where the wing was built.

It was painted over with the curtis green by california aerofab on assembly.
