His name is Dave lees. His past jobs include Spitfire 14 G-SPIT and the Mk16 that was G-CDAN before going to New Zealand.

I joined friends of TFC when it 1st started and left when they sold MOOSE. The log was great back then, though i haven’t seen it lately to see if it’s got better. I thought the convention they held was o.k but could have had more input from the pilots. I don’t know if they still have them or if the pilots are more in attendance now but that was my experiance back then.
I joined OFMC’s Tiger Squadron when they bought MOOSE and ruined the colour scheme and won a ride in the back of her at the 1st convention i went to. Tiger Squadron is as far as i’m concerned a better establishment, but it goes down to which interests you most. Also with the Tigers we raise funds for the charity set up in Mark Hanna’s name.

Spot on Yak 11. If G-EEMV had a stock cockpit area Paul would more than likely have survived. I think Elmer was restoring the Bearcat back to stock cockpit but is retaining the gorgeous Gulfhawk 4 colours.

Don’t most of the TFC aircraft display at on of the major seafront shows?

The RAF museums policy is to cover the whole of the RAF. Their Tempest is wearing it’s actual markings that it wore when in service. So you now have a) an aircraft portrayed in it’s original markings and b) an aircraft covering the target tug area of the RAF.
Personally i think it looks great as i’m one of those who hates the normal boring camouflage colour schemes.

Last i heard was that the engine was the last major thing to do. All the plumbing and wiring was complete and it just needed a few things finishing off. I think Dave Lees is doing the job on his todd as i never see anyone giving him a hand. I would guess it’s got a year to go at least.

Mark Linney is going to get his hands on the F-86 again just as soon as Cliff stops hogging it.
Rolf and Rod are down as pilots of both aircraft. The same goes for them as for Mark, when Cliff is not hogging it. It’s apparently quite difficult for him to prize his fingers from around the stick.
