    No, it’s on its initial take off run for the first flight. The picture has been incorrectly captioned. I took the picture so that’s how I’m so sure.

    Thanks, Roobarb! And keep up the great work!

    Is it really landing in that shot? The flaps aren’t down.

    Well, in that case there’s always the restoration of ‘Doc’ to fly in Wichita. They have a regularly-updated website and Facebook page

    In Canada a new project is underway tot reconstruct another Halifax for Canada. Is that not news?
    The Halifax is not as sexy as the Lancaster to some, but I digress.

    Cees

    And some of us think that the B-29 is sexier than either of those!

    OK, I should’ve said flyable restorations/ rebuilds! Specifically, I havent seen much recent news on here about the Comet racers, The Hawker Fury and DH-9, the Bristol Bulldog and Heinkel He-51 replicas and the incredible work going on at Meier Motors (none of which are at Duxford!)

    No news on the comet, though

    I can practically see Victory from where I’m typing this. The last estimation I read was that during the course of the last two centuries Victory has been renewed/repaired to in excess of fifty percent of her original construction.

    She is of course still Victory and fully representative of the victors of the most astonishing naval battle in history.

    When I visited it some years ago I was told that only one deck is original!
