I remember the OFMC one flying with the F-86 at at least one Duxford show. Mark in the Sabre and Rolf Meum in the MiG IIRC
One in Poland, one in Norway (if it has arrived yet) and now this one in Czech
Is this the fuselage that was built by Craig Charleston?
What restorations involving structural work have the FAAM carried out? Ever.
The Corsair and Martlet, whilst excellent work, have been more in the nature of deep conservation. AFAIK the Albacore work was done outside, as was the frame of the Gladiator.
I wonder if this behaviour by the FAAM might possibly endanger their Accreditation status with the Arts Council. I’m sure the Arts Council must have a clause on ethical requirements for Accreditation to be maintained.
Interesting how there is not a mention of hanging aircraft yet…
This thread gets more surreal by the day. First we had the EU being blamed, now suggestions of kidnapping the project. I thought the full moon was a couple of nights ago!
Ah, so the EU are to blame. I’m glad we cleared that one up. 🙂
British-designed Mustang? I think Edgar Schmued and his team at NAA might take issue with that claim John Green.
Who actually owns it, and what is the process to be granted recovery permission and full, undisputed ownership of the recovered artifact?
I’m still trying to work-out what the previous post was about? 🙂
The Jaguar referred to was named for Dave Bagshaw, who also flew for TFC for a while as well as with the now-defunct Stearman team. A top bloke, I had the pleasure of flying with him once in a Stearman from the (now sadly also defunct) Swanton Morley airfield.
I’ve seen it on sale in several supermarkets around the Cambridge area.
I understand they are currently reevaluating their options, as their Kickstarter campaign to raise £250k only received pledges of some £12k before it ended last weekend.

I notice its a temporary exhibition. What will replace it?
In 6 years time? I doubt the museum have planned ahead that far, they have ambitious plans for the rest of the site in the meantime
I just had cursory glances at the other artifacts…
You missed a lot of very interesting items, well worth spending the time to take a look the next time you visit.
