    If not Branson, how about Paul Allen? He has an interest in ww2 planes. How about Microsoft logos on planes :rolleyes:

    another thing, looking at the tail of the new catalina , and looking at the tail of their old catalina, ive noticed the shape of the tail fins are very different? did British Catalina’s have a different fin fitted?

    this is a pic of their old one from airliners.net-

    i think the ME109 that Craig Charleston was restoring for a German client is now owned by Glenn Lacey,i think the me109 reg is BF 109-E3 1983.

    he has a treasure case of ME109s in store,check out http://www.preservedaxisaircraft.com/
    there is some more info on there

    i dont know why this wasnt restored to flying condition, it would have filled the gap that black six left behind. Isnt there alot of spitfires and other planes in storage at the RAfm? are we ever going to see any of those being released?

    what are the real chances of seeing black 6 fly again? could someone make an offer that the museum cannot refuse?

    all i can say is wow!!!! and im be looking forward to see at airshows.

    once question tho, does the undercarrage on the fw190 look oversized for the size of the aircraft?

    has anyone else got any more pictures of this?

    i was wondering, what is the possibility of a Typhoon flying, i mean if the aircraft in question was given some wings and and a engine would it fly? is the aircraft rebuilt to original spec, or is it a rebuild with replica parts?

    if a group of people are willing to put a HP 42 in the sky, why not a typhoon?

    i know that the Typhoon is super super rare, what if the typhoon was operated from Duxford and only did 1 or 2 airshows a year? i would gladly pay to see it, what do people think? is there any way of modifying a sabre engine to make it more safe? they could have the computer system that the HFL spitfires have which say if there are problems in the aircraft?
