Quite an appropriate type to mention under the circumstances David.
Correct.
I understand from multiple sources at Duxford this morning that there is to be a change in the top management, as the previous incumbent has departed with immediate effect as “an opportunity arose to take voluntary exit”.
Ah yes, that well-known fleet of Biggin Hill- based warbirds. 🙂
I think that it is incorrect to state that de Havilland Support closed down, rather that they relinquished the type certificates of the types that they cover and now support them on a Permit, rather than CofA, basis.
Great news that a return to the air next year is possible. 🙂
She is going to Hendon I presume.
One would presume so, although time will tell. It was encouraging to hear from those doing the work, during the recent Michael Beetham Centre open house, that it is being done to airworthy standard.

It looks like an in-service RAF one from Waterbeach in 1960s-era markings.
It is an E.III, not an E111.
E for Eindecker (monoplane) and III to signify that it was the third monoplane design produced by Fokker.
Hence D.VII signified their seventh Doppeldecker (biplane) design, and Dr.I their first Dreidecker (triplane) design.
……..the first aircraft to suffer from the effects of +500 mph with an airframe that could survive the stress
Didn’t the early ones have a rather unfortunate tendency for the tail to fall off in flight?
I suspect then when RAFM and/or any supposed museum that might be taking the Typhoon on loan are ready to tell us, then they will do so.
Until then, nothing has been officially confirmed.
I thought you’d already told us all where it was going in an earlier post. Or perhaps I imagined that? :confused:
A lovely set Tony.
The shot of Spitfire AR501 would have been mid-1975 or later, not 1971.
No Buchons in Israel, they were Czech Avia S-199s
