Did you leave anything for the rest of us? 🙂
how is she doing by the way?
If you are referring to the New Zealand example, it was sold recently (along with a veritable fleet of other airworthy warbirds and vintage types) to a new owner in France.
No taxpayers’ money there, BAE has been a private company for a long time now.
It’s come even further since the pile of bits and pieces that arrived from Jerry’s place! 😉
Absolutely fabulous! It’s come a long way since I saw it at Tisted, and I’m really looking forward to seeing it out and about this year.
Other news from the Collection is that they’ve sold off the Prentice, according to the latest issue of Propswing. G-INFO shows it being registered to a new owner in Scotland earlier this week. A shame that all the volunteer work a decade or so back did not lead to its completion, but hopefully the new owner will get it back into the air eventually.
Chaps,
re Hurricane photo, it’s a hangar, not a hanger. 🙂
But it was a hanger who hung the prop on the Hurri in the hangar. 🙂
The search function has been busted for ages 🙁
Nice one Steve!
Are DVDs of past years still available? I had hoped to fill in a few gaps in my collection when I recently made my first visit to Duxford for quite a while, but was disappointed to find that they don’t seem to stock them in the IWM shop any more. 🙁
I’m not convinced, as it has an altogether different strut configuration
Some nice pictures there, but to me this new-fangled digital artwork doesn’t have any of the charm of the old Roy Cross paintings.
Care to explain ………;)
I have heard that someone down that way has been cloning the type, using DNA samples extracted from pieces of the original. 🙂
Is this the lookalike out of the Hatfield Galleria?
The Alconbury A-10 would make a great addition to Bentwaters being entirely appropriate to the site.
Simple solution, just paint iron crosses and swastikas on the Duxford one, then sit back and wait for the current IWM hierarchy to fall over themselves to give it away. 🙂
De Havilland D.H. 6 I think ( British).
I don’t think so
Many supplied across the Atlantic around 1917 as the U.S.A. was largely incapable of making aircraft at the time.
Are you sure you’re not getting confused with the DH-4?
