Log Book

Peter Wood, Tim Manna, Tommy Thompson, and Pete Kynsey reviewing Tommy’s log book and the first flight of SX336 on 03 May 46.

Will it be at…

It’s a shame that Yeovilton Air Day and Flying Legends conflict this year. As FL is always on the same weekend, every year, not sure why Yeovilton would have picked that date.

Removing Paint

A good guy to talk to would be Dave Morris, chief engineer at the Fleet Air Arm Museum. Dave just did an award winning restoration of the FAA’s Corsair, and for the most part, they took off many layers of paint and grime to get to the original stuff, as you suggest you want to do. Lots of rubbing and elbow grease, but a fabulous result. I think they’ve just done a book about the restoration. All the best.

Is there more information, or any links to the supposed cache found in the Philippines?

Easy Tiger, Is there a “guestimate” as to a first flight date?

Does anyone know the status of the Burmese aircraft, how many, etc., that is to say, the one’s still in Burma and not liberated several years ago?

Kennet had two flying Piston Provosts, G-MOOS and G-KAPW. PW was sold to Shuttleworth a few years ago and flew at the last Shuttleworth show. MOOS still flies with Kennet. Kennet also sold a flying Gnat (had two), BVPP, still flies G-TIMM. The Meteor and Chipmunk went to Aus/NZ, the Scout somewhere else.
