    Sell the lot and use the money to build a Hornet from scratch!

    As it’s not original equipmet, I can foresee terrible certification issues if anyone wanted to fit one to their warbird. Having said that, MT818 (the prototype Tr 8) still has a door for a spin recovery parachute. Maybe they could just make it’s parachute bigger!

    There is at least one light aircraft that has a parachute as standard

    I’m hoping (against hope, maybe) that the Fury will be ready in time for Legends. I suppose even if it does the required test hours in time that the paperwork would stop it from displaying?

    They must have bought shonky Chinese rip-offs then because the “Bremont P-51 Limited Edition” isn’t available yet – it is being “launched” at Legends although it is apparently being showcased at Basel 2011 and isn’t available until “Autumn”…

    …and a snip at only £7,450.00

    Thanks for the correction! But, alas, neither my income or my conscience would let me spend that much on a watch, anyway!

    This is a return to Duxford – this is the aircraft that had been thought to be Twilight Tear – but wasnt.

    Thanks, Bruce! – Wondered what happened to that one!

    Hawker Hurricane by Francis K Mason springs to mind

    I suppose £1.75m is not bad value, considering that E-Type ‘Speedster’ Jezza was testing on Top Gear last night was £500k. :eek::eek:

    …Or that Chris Evans recently paid £12 million for a Ferrari!

    Maybe they could mock-up some Jumos and cowlings? It would help the dodgy spars. And it would look good next to the ‘109

    Quite a few remains in Russia, but know-one (with LOTS of money!) seems interested-or maybe not so easy to get them out these days!

    Wish they wouldn’t do any of that. It’s all do easy to lose all of them with just one relatively minor problem
