    Hi Whiskey Delta,

    I believe it’s Gary Kohs FG-1D Corsair. It has been rebuild by Airpower Unlimited of Jerome, Idaho. Its BuNo is 92106 and she is registered as N106FG.

    Y11F,

    The former Warbids of Great Britain machine (N179PT) was not destroyed when the OSH accident took place. She substained some damages but was flying again in 2000.
    The one which was completely destroyed is the Cavanaugh Corsair (F4U-4). I believe the remains have been sold to Jim Frye.

    Maybe Corsair guru (Rob Mears) could confirm this info.

    Dave,

    Unfortunately, the museum politic is to rebuild aircraft to static condition only. There was a D.520 rebuild in the 80’s but sadly it crashed in 1986.

    Hello Stieglitz,

    I have more photos taken from last year open days – I attached some of them for your interest. I and LaurentB will probably bring more shots from next week open days. The one I would like to see is the Heinkel He 46 but the doors are always closed! 🙁

    Thanks Dan for your reply – much appreciated! What about the Seafires? I think it is “easy” to convert a V or a IX into a Seafire II or III, no? Do you have the possibility to do the XV (Mk.XII template maybe?) or the XVII? Do you plan to work on the 21,22 and 24 templates?

    Dan,

    Your profiles looks very nice – keep’em coming please! How many sort of Spitfire profiles are you able to do now? I know for sure you do the Mk.I, II, V, VIII, IX, XIV and XVI… Does it correct?
