    There’s more ins and outs at the fighter collection then there is at west ham!!

    shame to see it go but not really surprised as the TF51 is due over this year ( although its gone a little bit quiet on this one!). i wonder if they have another Hurri waiting in the wings somewhere as well?

    Thats why we should all be so greatful to this man and his franchise, and all stop moaning about paying £30 to go to legends as it helps to keep these pieces of history gracing our skies, and not gathering dust in a museam.

    The only problem i’ve ever had with flying legends was the old guy who was sitting next to me who had a touch of wind last year. And i thought i was bad. Thats the last time i sit downwind next to him.

    the p40b has been under rebuild for a while so i would imagine let there is only enough hangar room for as many planes as they have at the moment

    I know its a bit early to start talking about another restoration as you have a good 2 years to go on this project fluffy, but will you and the bbmf guys be looking at another project after this one is complete? i’m sure that i read in one of the mags that the bbmf were looking to acquire another spit of a mark that isn’t represented yet once this project is finished.

    Anyway loving the scheme, and well done thus far, its really starting to look the ********!

    i see they are sticking with the ‘jumpin jacques’ scheme, and not going for the red tails look. hopefully get a chance to see this plane at some point this year.

    Anybody know what other projects Hawker restorations are working on.:confused:

    would be nice if it was tom blairs p-38, but i’m afraid its probably wishful thinking!! the thought of 2 of them flying together would be amazing, but i would imagine its his mkix as its due for some work at arco.:)
