As an alternative viewpoint regarding Trumpers comment I feel that there are already a number of static Hurricanes on display which fulfil the need to see one close up. To consider a rebuild to fly is expensive and selecting a start point with historic combat provenance is an encouragement to link the airworthy result to events. Recent articles have shown just how involved and challenging a Hurricane build is , I am always grateful that the funding is being found to bring back such an important aircraft to the skies.

A great insight into what is a fairly new process. I understand you cannot quote actual total cost as you explained however just to give some broad ideas can you pass on some estimates? I have been in conversation several times with rebuild enthusisasts and the matter of 3 d printing larger parts comes up. But no one can give figures and this leaves a question about the use of 3d.

Worry not Meddle, for those young people interested in aviation there are a lot of ways open to being involved, not headline grabbing but steady methods of achieving ambitions which of course needs work and determination.Airlines need aircrew,engineers and even the military has reduced but regular openings.
The Vulcan 558 is a preservation project which has been at high tide and now takes its place in a sea of conserved aircraft.

Thats easy JaG,its now a ground exhibit to be kept undercover. The rolling bit was just an off stage event which has been dealt with. Theres room for many new flying projects which will soon have their turn.

Facebook is a superb resource, I found my current rented home with help from facebook members,have photographed the Northern lights via facebook updates, had business bookings for my photo work, made new local contacts for playing in music sessions as well as following aviation happenings . I only post what I am happy for others to know about and can easily delete items of no interest.

There is a photo showing 3 Rapides lined up at Glasgow Renfrew in exactly that scheme so I cannot be miffed, anyway I am still happy that you chose that scheme and if you ever venture North i would be delighted to take air to airs over Inverness, we are based there.

When in ww2 service the passengers had no view outside as the windows were covered for security reasons,so they missed the far to close view of a huge battleship near the Caithness coast when Capt Fresson broke cloud over what he thought was open sea…
