That’s a bit harsh! He’s not ugly. But I will if u want
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 done! Fantastic work!
I will endeavor to find time soon to provide a comprehensive resume of where we have got to with our restoration. Its all good so far!!
Looking forward to that! Thanks!-and good luck!!
Well, in that case there’s always the restoration of ‘Doc’ to fly in Wichita. They have a regularly-updated website and Facebook page
Yeah, I am aware of that, but thanks anyway!
That’s great news, thanks!
Any idea what happened to the Fury?
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!)
Great pictures!
No news on the comet, though
🙁
Only a day after mine-I had no idea!
That’s one man I really want to meet!- many happy returns, Captain!
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!
According to Flight Global a few weeks ago its now back in production with a turbine engine!
I thought it said crate!
Just saw the remains of a Zero of the coast of Papua New Guinea! (Watching a programme called ‘The Magic of the Big Blue’)
