Isn’t that what I just said???

The B-24 didn’t tour much as it spent much of its time over here sitting on the ground waiting for a blown engine to be replaced

A Betty is being restored to fly?

No. It is a static restoration, although Mr Harada has expressed an interest in flying his aircraft eventually (currently this is not possible in Japan)

A restoration to static, and an airworthy restoration to the exacting standards required by FHC are chalk and cheese

I really don’t understand this frenzy. There have been plenty of opportunities to see it fly over the past few years if anyone was minded to do so, and to take as many pictures and videos as you want. Twenty years or so ago many of us trekked to Cranfield to witness the last display in RAF service, then it was parked, and that was that. None of this obsession with when the final flight would be, none of the flag-waving nonsense we’ve had over the last few nonths, none of the hysteria. How the world has changed in two decades 🙁

Hornet, Tempest, Barracuda and Firebrand according to Mark12

Actually the HLF Grant was originally made on the (barking mad) basis that it would be retired to Duxford on completion of its flying life IIRC.
