It would be fantastic to copy BW-372 and rebuild from scratch few Buffalos.
It’s amazing to see how well is preserved the airframe!
Any takers :diablo:?

There is also 2 Spitfire V’s registered with Mike Aitchison in Australia: BS164 & MA353(?) respectively registered as VH-CIP and VH-CIQ.
The quality looks very nice. The wing is original, but I din’t understand if its being restored, or its going on the replica.
The wings is from the G-10 which has been damaged at ILA 2008. Currently under repair.
Paul,
The Bloch was scrapped.

The Tempest was part of the late Philippe Denis collection.
The project was initially located at Romans-sur-Isère but according the latest WD, MW376 is now stored at Valence between Lyon and Marseille.
She is now repaired and ready to fly again.
Was seen at Manching late last year taxiing.
Go to Flugzeuforum (http://www.flugzeugforum.de), you’ll find a photo.

PT’s Hurricane perhaps?
From the last update on H11 website: ” High power run took place on 21st January and subject to the CAA issuing
a permit to test we hope to undertake her inaugural flight next week.”
🙂 Sorry to bump up an old thread but i see 1 year later [from the start of this thread] she is back in the OFMC hangar with the Buchon again if anyone wants to see them.
I don’t suppose there’s any more news on her chances of ever flying over here,:o
AFAIK, it’s actually Tom Blair other FW 190A-9 (short-nose) also build by Flug Werk which is at Duxford. The D-9/N is still with Stallion 51 @ Kissimmee in Florida.
James,
Actually, the Bf 109 is a Friedrich and not a Gustav 😉

Any news / updates on this aircraft?
Some information available here: http://www.cfmc-gb.com/
The aircraft definately flew on occasion, I think it even displayed at Falaise (or somewhere similar)
Y11F is correct – photos of the Corsair @ Falaise can be found here: http://pagesperso-orange.fr/warbirds_en_normandie/Warbirds/Corsair%20F4U.htm#3
JägerMarty – it will be a flyer.
