    i do not post very often, but as the forum logs will attest to, i read alot of posts, something some people here seem to forget is simple.

    think back to pearl harbor, intel is just basically guss work, abeit educated or not still guess work, some people believed an attack on pearl was coming, again educated guesses

    wouldnt it be great if there wasb, an open doors policy worldwide, now i dont want to start a discussion bout what any country might b hiding but you see where i am going with this.

    i personally believed the intel was seen and a part of the presentation made to bus/uk mps was subject to inferance, but remember these politicans are not military analysts they relie on what they are told “by those in the know” and if they are gussing and infering where are we?

    Sorry to kinda divert from the point however;

    the Fw190 that was refered to is a replica/new build from Germany in transit to Tom Blairs collection in the US

    The russian engine that you mention is a chinese built yak engine which is the power supply selected to power the replica 190’s.

    They are very similar to the original 190 but there are a few differences, the permission they were awaiting for is CAA approval to fly her in Brit skies, she is due to appear at a few duxford based shows before she departs across the pond.

    Pete
