well if its sold , then hey ho, i’m sure they will just bring something else in, or something out of storage for them to restore.

And if not, they can carry on doing the outstanding and painstaking job of putting this rare beast back where she belongs.

Everyones a winner

while the other i would imagine would be ‘glacier girl’ and operation bolero III. Any news on whether they are going to complete this journey in 2008?

Anybody know the progress they are making on their second seafire? Can we expect to see it this year?

Any idea if there has been an official statement from the group / operators yet or is it still at the rumours stage?

Surely the fact that now this mossie may have the chance to get air under its wings eventually is a good thing for the worldwide warbird movement? i understand the national importance of it but its sitting out back gathering dust with no immenent funds in place to commence a restoration! The fact that its going to england is superficial (although i can’t say i’m not ecstatic!) and you will receive a hurricane restored to pristine condition no doubt with the standards of warbird restoration nowadays. if they were to strip it of all parts then surely they might as well give you a fibreglass replica instead.

Lets hope this nonsense gets sorted quickly and this historic aircraft can once again grace our skies in the near future.
