Yes it is still there. It is a Spanish Casa built version. I would imagine that it would be due for restoration after Airspace has been completed perhaps?
Ah, I saw this aircraft at Bodo a few years ago, lovely little museum with a rich assortment of aircraft. Where else can you see a JU-52 on floats?
Erm… It’s gone to General Discussion 🙂
so it has…now how did it get there?
🙂 what a lark.
I really like the inscription below the cockpit window (Patty told me what it is)
Cracking photos.
share with the wider world or is it a little risque? 🙂
Steve thanks,
So what is it a bomber,trainer ect.
fighter bomber I think but im sure there is someone on here who knows much more. It was called the Ouragon originally, Toofani is the Indian name for it.
Not an English type, it’s a French aircraft i believe, Dassault Toofani.
best regards, steve
thanks chaps,
so in summary, done because of cost then, seemes fair enough as long as it is safe.
I wonder how different the handling is.
please would someone explain the reason why this spit has contra props.
many thanks, steve
I’m sure I read somewhere there was a suggestion to repaint it in Battle of Britain movie markings.
Why wouldn’t cosmetics turn the aircraft into an He111? The Buchon is simply a Bf109 with a Merlin, and we’ve already seen quite a few of those restored with DB605s, so why not the CASA 2-111? OK, suitable engines might be a problem, but apart from that…?
authenticity?
The info boards at East Kirkby say that it was built as a film prop at Pinewood.
I stand corrected,
cananyone check wrecks and relics? think it was in edition 14 at least. Havent got mine down here im afraid to check.
best regards, steve
Hopefully after Easter
cheers, shall look forward to it.
For Battle of Britain,
The East Kirby nose section – is this the real thing?
I think so.
You never know but it might be at BBMF on the 23rd fingers crossed.
fluffy, any ideas when the lanc will be up for its first post hibernation shakedown?
Yes you by the sound of it
club together for a new one? or maybe an aviation themed mobile might appease? 😉
Don’t upset him for f***s sake
We would have to go through all that
‘im leaving no one loves me’
‘No don’t go you are great’
Etc Etc Etc
oh dear, someone stole your rattle?
