On closer inspection it looks like it has a fixed under cart too. Can’t see it being a flyer as the wheels look permanently fixed.

You could also try the NRA at Bisley they may be able to point you in the right direction.

RAf Luechars has a Phantom too. Cranwell has a JP 3 IIRC
Imagine if they had managed that and also do the same with MH434.
I think MH434 should stay in her present colours as a tribute to Ray Hanna.
Would be nice to see a ‘Heinkel’ inthe air again though
Martin
it also mentions that the move has been postponed so she has a repreive for now.

Hey we have room….”As I start pushing the Nomad out the hangar door.”
There is a guy up the road that has a Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter in his front garden. Hmmmmmmmm maybe I can upstage him with a full size Lancaster in my back garden.
Seriously though excellent read. any chance of a link to the full article?
Martin
wasnt she stripped out by someone before it got to germany?
not as far as I know, Bernie said he sold her complete.
BBMF Spit and Hurricane over the house in Gosport flew out towards the Isle of Wight then landed at Daedalus about 1945hrs.
Martin
My apologies they werent BBMF but a pair of Spits from DX one being flown by John Romain, they did an excellent display over the Royal Hospital Haslar for the Last Night of the Proms and Battle of Britain concert.
That is good news!! Thank god it wasnt destroyed completely.
Peter, it was bernie himself I was chatting to, he had some cracking pics too If I can get hold of a copy I will try to scan them on here but I cant promise anything
