    Have you any reason to believe he may have sold it?

    Yes I have,as I saw an advert in GA buyer for a Slepcev Storch for sale where the owner stated that he also owns the original Storch at Old Warden.Just wanted to check if you guys had heard anything.

    Personally I have always liked the look of it,always thought the piston engine looked better than the turbo-prop though.

    It’s reported in a certain monthly mag that these 2 flyable aircraft built by ‘The Vintage Aviator’ team have been acquired for the museum and that there is a chance that they will be flown at a Shuttleworth display before being grounded. What a waste!

    So are they really going to come,or is it supposition?.Any more news?

    Might be worth contacting one of it’s previous owners in the Forest of Dean.Tony Lydiart has sadly passed away a few years ago’ but Bruce is still about and he may be able to put you in the right direction.

    How did it go?.I wanted to make it, but such a rotten day down here and 130+ mile drive to a possible no go put a damper on it for me I’m afraid.

    Always liked the colour scheme of G-FIRE,I flew up to Elstree with a mate in the summer of 1982 and she was in the hangar there and looked lovely in red.She also attended a few PFA rallies at Cranfield if I recall correctly and I seem to remember the white exhaust stacks,but never really thought about them till they were mentioned in this post.
