Still in Connie Edwards’ hangar. However the configuration of the Bf 109G-12 is very different to that of the two-seater Buchon.
Ambitious. I suppose Meier, restoring 4 DB-engined 109s at the moment, are working on the same basis that EADS do. That is, if you have enough of them, you have at least a chance of having one of them working at any given time.
What happened to the Javelin that used to be on the gate?
Aren’t the Army due to move in to Cosford too?
The pilot (not the guy in the photo, whatever ‘The Sun’ might say) is a friend of a friend, and did a great job in difficult circumstances. Google ‘Clyde Kawasaki’ and there are plenty of stories on the web about the accident.

Not so cool for the lady who didn’t make it out. 🙁

Calling Snapper, I know he has a couple of photos of the 609 Drone
Going slightly OT, what happened to the two-seater Hurricane (Persian?) that was mooted a few years back?
Personally I miss the Duxford tractor hauled land train more than anything. When you are my age it is a long walk back to the exit when you get down the to the bottom after working your way through the hangars. Why was it ever withdrawn?
Apparently there was an issue with visitors being unable to resist the urge to fling themselves in front of site vehicles at Duxford, which lead to their withdrawal on safety grounds.
All RAF pilots in WWII spoke like David Niven..
….and wore their oxygen masks dangling from a single strap
The Fairey FD2 set a proper official world air speed record.
As did Howard Hughes in the H-1
Great place, lovely people!
I Oddly enough my old Flying Flea, G-AEOH, is now in a private collection in Wisconsin of all places … saw it there in September 2012 🙂
Brodhead?
