That’s sad, the second flyable example of these rare aircraft to be entombed in the last few months, along with the faux-Earhart one in Seattle. 🙁

I would think that it is easy enough to get plenty of volunteers for polishing duty when you have a nice old aeroplane with lots of seats! 🙂

That’s great news, a soft play area to attract the local teenage mums looking for free entertainment on a rainy day! 😀

Wasn’t this the one that they were supposed to be fitting a glass cockpit to?

No, another one. This one has always worn these colours.

Tom Blair never had a Spitfire I. This is one built up for the Friedkins from a recovery from a wartime crash site.

– and let’s not go there!!!

I’ve been there. A very nice place, palm trees, beaches, and $20 burgers. I’d thoroughly recommend it! 😀

That’s because you’re a cheapskate and sat outside the show! 😉

I imagine a few here would echo James Holland’s final sentence on this subject in an excellent piece today.

Where was that, Charlie? I presume not in the Mail?

Follow my link above Meddle and it will give you the entire history of the former Aces High cameraship ‘Dolly’, now back in the US and a different aircraft altogether from ‘Bedsheet Bomber’.

Couldn’t they find even one aerodynamics expert or an experienced flyer who could point the CGI crew towards realistic flight models and combat flying?

They did – Ed Shipley.

The ex-Hannover Street one got burned up in the fire at Le Bourget years ago. The one you’re thinking of Mark (that George Perez made a forced landing in) is effectively written off I believe.

…are the “Hanover Street” B-25s still available? Last I heard they were still stored in pieces.

Long gone. One went to Spain, one to France (and got burned up), one to Hendon, one returned to the US and the final one went to Belgium some years ago.
