Any update on the DH.9 Andy? For me, that holds far more interest than yet another new-build Spitfire (although I know I’ll be in the minority here with that view!) 🙂

We already have one current thread (as well as the more contentious, now deleted, one!)

A nice obituary, perhaps it would be better to append it to the existing thread?

Here’s a good blog for you to follow. Tom Reilly’s XP-82 Twin Mustang project

Quite a few Corsairs have been given the second seat mod. Sometimes the additional windows are tinted blue so they are not so obvious.

It is quite claustrophobic in the back; in fact, I turned down a flight in one a couple of years back.

And on that note, I thought I heard Mr Chabbert at this years Legends say that ex-Wallis example was deemed the nicest flying of all the current Hurricanes, by those that had flown other examples.

That’s interesting, considering that they nearly all came out of the same shop.

Actually, I think I’m more impressed by the fact that someone was actually listening to M.Chabbert. Although not as ‘anti’ as many on here, I just tend to tune out his ramblings these days.

Or even beforehand? Where is JDK when you need him, that was always one of his favourite hobby-horses! 😀

Was there ever a year that there were more Hurris up for grabs or changing hands? G-HURI was (unsuccssfully) auctioned recently, but is presumably still available at the right price. One up for sale at Thruxton, the Russell one, the NZ one sold to France, the Friedkin one sold to Peter Monk’s operation at Biggin, the JNE project in Washington State up for sale, Yagen’s one being touted around.
