    Every time I see this project, the more promising it looks. Here’s hoping this extinct type can make a re-appearance!

    Maybe a film production could be made at Duxford, part of which includes the construction of a period hangar.

    I personally dream of a “last hangar” at Duxford to properly safeguard all of the remaining DAS airliners (VC-10, BAC-111, Trident, Britannia, Ambasador, Viscount, Herald) indoors, however I suspect this is something of a pipe-dream. For a start, where would they put it?

    Looks like a veritable treasure trove. I never knew that the Czechs built a bubble-canopy and twin-seat version of the Bf109! That Saro Cloud is a pretty unique survivor too.

    I really hadn’t appreciated how much there is for them to go on: it really is encouraging to see what a sound project this is, and tantalising to imagine an immaculate Barracuda standing next to the Albacore in the Museum once done. It would be quite thought-provoking if they hauled the Swordfish down from the rafters and parked them in a line to show the progressive development from each type to the next.

    Very sad, we owe the Polish “Few” an immeasurable debt.

    No matter what’s it’s called, I just hope that nasty-looking corrosion gets sorted out in time for L******s.

    Tantalising stuff, thanks for posting. For me one of the great “might-have-beens” of aviation history along with TSR-2, V-1000 etc.

    Needs rather substantial restoration, but I’m not sure you’d be able to salvage much more than the data plate.

    I most certainly will be! Haven’t been to any Duxford shows this year, and am missing them…

    Ditto, it’s lovely to be kept up to speed with what’s going on!
    The blenheim looks like it’s still got a while to go, but good to see the u/c done and ready to go; and the Spit still looks mouthwatering from any angle. Just imagine a Blenheim/P9374 formation sometime in the future!

    I hope the Victor is safe for posterity, it’s one of my favourite airframes in preservation, and really quite unique.

    Hmmm..Difficult.

    1.Wright Flyer in the US. You can’t not see it, really.
    2. USAF Museum for the B-47. Such an elegant thing, not a machine I’ve ever seen, and utterly groundbreaking in its day.
    3. Udvar-Hazy centre for the Horten 229. Kinda speaks for itself!
    4. Russia, to see the recently-restored IL-2 with air under its wings.
    5. Southern Africa, to watch DC3s still earning their keep supplying remote villages well into the 21st century.
    In the UK, I’d go with:
    6. Lancaster R5868 at Hendon. As a single reminder of the sacrifices made by Bomber Command, its hard to beat.
    7. Comet 1XB G-APAS at Cosford. A flawed triumph, but a triumph nonetheless: the first jet airliner in the world.
    8. Blackburn Monoplane at Shuttleworth. The oldest British aeroplane flying…
    9. Vulcan XH558. Love or loath the Vulcan To The Sky project, for sheer aeronautical spectacle, it’s hard to beat a proper Vulcan take-off with wingover. Watching it brings a tear to my eye, guaranteed.
    10. Hendon (well, currently Rochester) for the Defiant. I’ve always had a soft spot for the Defiant, don’t know why. Also, its total uniqueness makes it special.

    Definitely a Beaufort. What a fabulous film!
