    lets hope its nothing serious and that its been taken off to check that everything went alright and that there no trace of metal in the oil?

    The article says there are 2 hurricane frames with classic aero that will be restored over the next 3or 4 years? is one of them the sea hurricane auctioned at goodwood a few months ago?

    not that anyones really bothered, its gonna be an amazing sight of 3 p51s in tight formation. i’m sure we are in for a treat whatever they may be.

    Why does everyone get so arky with the ‘L’ word? (and i don’t mean that pony old lesbian drama!)

    And especially with the unfortunate landing incident with the trIX. Beautiful looking plane indeed.

    Do RACO still have this project?

    don’t forget the merlin engined p40, that can’t be too far away now as well.

    Exciting times indeed.

    That sea fury is due on its way soon as according to WIX its to be containerised fairly soon.

    i wonder if hawker restorations over a 5 year warranty with their purchases….

    Damn unlucky but at least P T and the plane are Ok and hopefully see her in the air within a couple of months.

    With regards to the props, would it not make more sense to have a wooden prop similar to the 2 spit tr IX’s that had their mishaps last year, as heaven forbid they didn’t do too much damage to their engines? And would a wooden prop have an adverse effect on the performance of the engines?

    technically, being off of the ground it is!!!

    How is the work on the MKXIV going BWB? Can we expect to see her this season or wil it take the season off? And any change to the paint scheme?
    in all fairness i do like JE-J, a true legend.
