i totally agree with mark12, if the b17 was left where it was, eventually it would degrade into a big pile of rust. i do feel some sympathy toward the local tourist board, but surely such a rare aircraft is better to be seen by millions of people either in a museam or as a flying tribute to those who fought and died trying to bring back freedom to that part of the world.

Also can anybody shed light on whether the usaaf or raf ever buried complete aircraft in crates in these sorts of areas (i.e burma, PNG, guadacanal etc) or is it wishful thinking on someones part? :diablo:

i take it the flugwerk 190 didn’t attend?

that me 109 looks amazing!! hopefully she will come to legends this year. :dev2:

Taxi for VTTSCM……

i’m embarassed, i really am.

would be nice, the zero tends to be one of the top 3 in those ‘what would you like at legends’ thread. should be some show, with the potential for all those new machines that they have acquired being there.

The question is, where are they gonna put them all? :diablo:

if its there already, then surely it must have been arriving!!! the plot takes another turn!!! maybe, just maybe something else may have arrived for us all to drool over!!!

whats the state of play at hawker restorations? do they work on more than one plane at a time or is it one done and on to the next?

i would take it, that it was the desert camo ex tfc hurri which is on its way to canada. our loss is most certainly canada’s gain.

bearing in mind that tfc have just got rid of theirs…….surely not another acquisition? of course, they would be favourites as to all the movements and such of late. bearing in mind i do not, stress do not want to speculate, its just wishful thinking!!!

just curious, have the alpine fighter collection found a new owner for theirs yet?
