My earliest memory of the GeeBee is reading about it in a book called ‘The World’s Worst Aircraft!’
Would u mind explaining That? For those of us up have very little knowledge of anti-submarine patrols?
Mine too, Stormbird262! And they’re supposed to be getting John Travolta’s 707 at some point as well. Love that jet!
They seem to have an awful lot of money behind them!
There was a bit of a problem on the prototype. The prop rotation caused the centre wing section to stall and it wouldn’t fly!
1987, Dazdaman. The CAF’s ‘B’ model. But it landed very heavily and ended up at the Air Force Museum after they tried to sell it and the Air Force said they couldn’t do that because it was on loan and claimed it back.
Beautiful! Thanks for posting this!
Congratulations to the team. It’s such a great display aircraft!
OMG, how weird! I’m plagued with very strange coincidences, myself. This one is one of the weirdest: some years ago I was reading about a carpenter who was involved in the repair of Miles aircraft. The next morning I went to a show at Shuttleworth and he was parked next to me!!
Can i ask David Collins how long have u known about this?
Thanks for your reply, SB. Glad to see it’s stable. Good luck
Glad you’ve been able to get things ticked off, SB! Well done! Hope u have much more flight time!
P.S. I’ve heard of a very promising stem cell treatment for MS. I hope u can take advantage of It!
Mark 21 or Seafire 47 (if Seafires are allowed!)
Fantastic news! Such a beautiful machine. Best of ĺuck to all involved (and I hope they don’t forget about regular updates. I love reading about restorations!)
Wouldn’t it be great to see a Blenheim/Hampden formation one day?
