I don’t think a few months in the weather will do her any significant harm. I seem to recall she spent a quite considerable time outside after arrival from Portugal.

My concern is more for its longer-term future, i.e. whether the new custodians intend to keep it under cover, or leave it outside in the rather inclement Krakow weather.

Interestingly if you look at the USAFM website you can see the Spanish built Ju52 there outside in the weather.

Wasn’t that one up for sale, minus data plate and identity, a while back?

David, the (somewhat controversial) Ethell archive does not hold the copyright to most of the photos listed on it. I’m sure a quick Google search will reveal more.

Still think Flypast have missed something here and should extend their remit a bit

I thought FlyPast was dire in the Ken Delve days, full of endless bloody Canberra articles every month 🙁

Rather surprised that it was sold after it’s return to the States.

I believe the owner (Gen Lyon) decided that owning three was a little excessive, and having two (a C-47 and a DC-3) in his collection would suffice, so disposed of ‘Fifi Kate’

Must admit that I prefer the gawky appearance of the 3605,

Each to their own, I suppose. Plus the Schlepps smell funny, a bit like a paraffin lamp. :p

but doesn’t that place look like utter aviation heaven?!

They certainly do seem to always have some interesting projects on the go.

Thats the one not sure of its current colours since restoration?

I believe it is still undergoing restoration.

Posts on other fora seem to indicate that CA is being incorporated into Aviation News. 😉

So now we’ll have Air Pictorial, Aviation News and Aircraft Illustrated all between a single set of covers. Lucky us! 😉
