    There a few biplane types in there that would make your eyes water… I would make do with a Sopwith Strutter!

    What is interesting is if you look up the known serials some went to Afghan Air Force and some to India..

    Now it could be the records are wrong (I am uisng the Air Britian Serials books here) and they went to Afghanistan not India – Or we could have had an un-reported transfer from India to Afghan. Which does make the other bi-planes more interesting!!!!

    Still it is still possible the other type id are the rest of the seven IMAM Ro.37 found at the same type which were not taken to Italy

    If we are guessing/hoping on the un-named airframe/s I will go for Avro Anson. They had 13 and the last was removed from service in 1972.

    ‘non-Hawker bi plane items’

    Ahh the famous Avro Anson bi-plane?
    My speculation would be Italian

    What I can’t understand is it 11 Hinds or 15 – the other mag headline says 15 but the article it self only mentions only 11 – or is it 15 aircraft and as mark12 has hinted at – 4 other significant aircraft of another type

    Engins availability (or lack of it) will be the main issue though..

    Ok, here we go. a nights work. Anyone know anything about the crash at the Las Vegas Airshow in May 1961 by any chance? Cheers.
    .

    Sorry for resurrecting the dead but….

    Independent (Newspaper) – May 13, 1961, Long Beach, California

    Air Crash Kills 2 SEARCHLIGHT, Nev. Las Vegas, Nevada

    2 men were killed Friday (12 May) in the crash of a light plane at the Searchlight Airport. James H. McArthur, 48, and Raymond J. Horton, 34, had taken off from the field moments before”

    No evidence of Air Show I am afraid…. And no Airshow mentioned in Men of Battle Of Britain by Wynn either – Just says Airport at las Vegas

    I remember seeing this Sea Fury in a hanger in Boscombe down in 1987 (I think) – She did not look that bad then, tail fin kind of bent at about 90% thats all (IIRC).. I wonder what she looks like now…..

    I agree anything can be registered with CAA – but some don’t start with an aircraft that is already capable of flight – and the fact it has been registered at all has shown an intention
