VX653 is their current restoration.
VZ345 is the RNHF spare airframe that was up for sale
WG655 is the former RNHF aircraft that crashed and then restored in the States.
Still no interest in 3 Sea Furies then ah well…..
Yes please.
Its also missing the undercarriage doors from the centre of the wing.
yes that is where white 1 is based.
Paul Allen has an original long nose variant but there are no plans to fly it. The version with the allison engines are being made by FlugWerk. I believe Tom Blair has one in Florida as well as his short nose version at Duxford. White 1 are restoring an original short nose to flight and also one for static for a Norwegian museum.
Question. Wasn’t there a Fw-190 project owned by RLM Aviation and did it get bought by the same person who now owns the Bestmann, Stieglitz, Storch and Klemm at Old Warden.
The fourth pic with the nose art looks like a BAE 146 cockpit. Should know as when I was doing my training for my degree, i had the great pleasure of crawling in the hatch that is open behind the lady in the pic to put a locking pin in to lock the throttle closed.
Im guesing that
Can somebody confirm

Here is a picture of the glass wall borrowed from the Duxford Update site. Would be pretty expensive to take it down to get one aircraft out for one weekend.

That was amazing, now we need the Tunderbirds, Blue Angels and the Snowbirds to come to the UK and repeat the show.
Mondariz,
In reply to you saying the Concorde at Duxford is not in great condition either. At least it is being looked after, it has also been at Duxford for 31 years so a little wear and tear is expected, especially with a few thousand people walking through it every year. It is also inside.
I’m sorry if the above comes across a bit rude but I go to Duxford at least once a year with family and the first thing they want to do is walk through Concorde.
