    thats wicked news fluffy. can’t wait to see her join the fleet. i remember reading that the bbmf will look to acquire another spitfire of a different mark after that. was there any truth in this or was it chinese whispers?

    The TFC guys are better placed than me to say, but all 3 furies will be flyers!!

    i beleive they are clearing the area around there seafury to continue the restoration. Is alot of the work done on the airframe already?

    i take it PP972 is the wizzard investments example that was originally restored but found to have issues with it? Has anybody got any recent pics of it because i’m sure this example had engine runs when it was originally restored?

    are both new airframes owned by the fighter collection or is it on an operate only basis like the friedkin spit?

    i take it there own restoration is continuing?

    Good times ahead with 2 new furies, a p47g, p40f and twilight tear to return after restoration!!!

    Any pics of the p40f yet?

    hmmmmmmmmmmm i wonder have much truth there may be in this? i would imagine just jane would need a massive overhaul at coventry like the bbmf lanc for starters.

    However, with the dambusters due to be filmed in 2010 who knows? coincidence perhaps?……..

    i would very much doubt it but who knows. never say never.

    Looks a fantastic lineup indeed, lets hope the guys at tfc get the bits back for the spit and the caa approval for test flights.

    Now all we need is this weather to stay…………

    At the moment it looks something like:
    BBMF SPIT, HURRI, DAKOTA
    B17S SALLY B, PINK LADY AND LIBERTY BELLE
    13 SPITS
    2 P40S
    6 MUSTANGS
    5 TEAM GUINOT
    YAK 3 ‘WHITE 100’
    2 GLADIATORS
    2 HURRICANES

    Then add the TFC, HAC And other duxford based residents and that takes it into the 40’s in terms of numbers. There is due to be 65 or more historic aircraft there.

    Check out http://friends-of-tfc.blogspot.com/ for regular updates

    its certainly looking very good indeed.
