Amazing. Now go and search for the rest of it !
When do museum deliveries begin ?
Great footage but it’s difficult finding a clean sound recording of a Sabre engine starting, taxying, idling or at full power…
Isn’t there a 262 being restored to flight somewhere ?
Wow what recovery was that ? I can see a roundel !
Perhaps Hendon should arrange a swap with the Berlin Technical Museum….the Hendon Ju88 nightfighter with the genuine Battle of Britain veteran Ju88 0886146 recovered from a Norwegian fjord a few years ago and currently in store pending full restoration. Fellow forumites please correct me if it’s not the case but is 0886146 actually the last surviving genuine Luftwaffe bomber from the Battle of Britain ?
Worth a look on JayLeno’sGarage is his tour around the Collings Foundation Fleet. Lucky chap takes a Flight in the P51C too !
And of course that famous Swedish company Bofors….
Hi Greg and welcome to the Forum.
Best of luck with the Fly For Your Life project. At the moment we seem blessed with a fleet of likely starlets without course to lots of CGI….namely two airworthy Gladiators, two airworthy Bf 109E’s, and at the moment five airworthy Hurricanes. If you can hang on a bit we may even have a Fiat CR42 soon !
The Boulogne shootdown scenario should be particularly exciting !
Focke Wulf’s Weihe und Stosser
Fascinating article Andy. All points well covered.
A garage in Connah’s Quay North Wales has parts of what looks to be Caudron tail booms acting as roof supports. They served as training machines at nearby RAF Sealand during the Great War.
I would counsel patience on this particular project. A colleague spoke to Jackson at the Lovely Bones Premiere and as the evidence of the replica Lancs and Wellington show, preparations for actual filming are fairly advanced, at the moment the light is amber rather than green…
His next project HAS to be a Whirlwind !
Its a bit worrying when you read the standard of journalism in Stars and Stripes sometimes…..
