QldSpitty. I suspect you are thinking of the example now displayed in Italy:

CeBro. The project to recreate a Master involved much original material collected at Breighton. There was an illustrated article in an edition of “Flypast” about it at the time (1980s I think). It didn’t progress and the parts reportedly ended up down south – some I think at Hawkinge.

What is the bomb-like device slung beneath the Ryan?

It is Nord 1203 Norecrin c/n 58 ex F-BEBX

Quote from Sabrejet “I thought the Bobsleigh had flown? Seem to recall an open day-type thing. Or has that not occurred yet?”

The Bobsleigh (still recorded on the CAA system as an RS.4 Desford Trainer) has been taxied and was demonstrated doing this at an Auster Club members’ visit to Spanhoe this year. A wonderful sight it was too! A night photo shoot event of the aircraft has been scheduled in 2018 by a commercial organisation, which may be the open day plan you recall. I have seen no reports yet of the aircraft having flown and the CAA website does not yet show a permit issued.

The following link records it as 51-16120 and if you click on the serial listed it links further to an illustration of it now at Ferte Alais with its Perspex windshield detached and placed elsewhere on the airframe. It also provides a photo of the actual c/n plate too.

I see the article mentions that:
“Its report said backers were trying to secure money from the Welsh Government with a potential £7.5m available in European funding, subject to approval from the Welsh European Funding Office.”
Won’t the exit from the EU scupper access to that or are they talking about private commercial backers in Europe?

I passed the details of the various adverts for this on to the Oz TP owners some months ago.
