Has the engine returned yet?

can’t wait for this to take to the skies. Must have had that engine in the US for 4-5 years now?

Great news indeed.

From what i can gather, red 7 is the only EADS machine that could cross the channel to the uk due to the way its registered. I’m not too sure how or why so don’t ask!!!

Is the fw190 an EADS machine as well then?

3 me 109’s, a me262 and an fw 190 in formation………….

I don’t think it has been sold. It was always due at chino to have a complete tear down after it was brought from sweden. You know what Mr grey is like for 100% originality!

He certainly doesn’t do things by halves thats for sure….

it may be a case of putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 27!!!!!

and from the TFC profile on her:

The long term plan is to carry out an in depth restoration to return her to wartime configuration ,however for the time being, the airframe is being reconditioned so we can fly her during the coming season. A repaint is being planned, and through friends in the USA we have been fortunate in contacting ‘Bill’ Davis’s family and we hope to present a more detailed account of her life in a further update.

That’s a real shame.

Really impressed by its refurb and lovely display at legends 09.

Any update on this bird?

******* Beautiful!!!

well done to all those involved. Wonder what’s next for PT and the guys?

It has to be something which is really lacking from the airshow circuit……..mosquito is nearly done, fw190’s are nearly there,…….

TYPHOON!!!!

would be nice to see this on the airshow circuit. Last i heard it had gone to retrotech and should be completed sometime this year hopefuly!
