Might have a spare seat or 2, but leaving Nth Devon at 06.00 sharp !!
Elsewhere Roy has mentioned that he has sourced a fuselage and wings for WV838’s cockpit.
Really ? Where ?
To quote the article….
” The noses are being seperated from the centre sections and moved to the north of the UK for restoration. The fuselages are being placed into temporary storage on private land in the Somerset area to await the same treatment
….as reported by this forums very own Lee Howard.
I read that to mean the fuselages are also heading north later to be rejoined after cockpits are restored (i’m sure theres a logistical reason somewhere in that 😮 )
OR…. they’ll stay in Somerset for restoration (think: why keep 2x noseless fuselages ?)
Lee, Roy….. any comments ?
.
I went, but didn’t see you Martin.
Going to Telford ?
Yes, its Vampire.
Bruce
Which one though Bruce ?
.
With the Hamster currently recuperating, anybody wish to volunteer as ‘pilot’ ?
.
I’m afraid it is not available
Ian,
Are you ~certain~ it is not available at all ?
I would urge you to reconsider and let Cee’s Halifax project benefit please.
.
Would anybody care to comment on this item ?
The seller did want vast sums for it, and has re-listed it several times, each with a price reduction, but Bruce says its not Mosquito, although seller is adamant it is.
.
Actually i think this aircraft has a [recent] history of its own. Perhaps someone like Aeroventure could take it on with only general tidying (eg: fresh canopy) but leave it as is, grafiti et al…..!
.
Bruce,
What about the other B-26K nose that came with it and was last (still is ?) at Hull Aero ?
Is that still Cadman owned ?
.
One pic’ shows it in camo’, another looks like grey.
Anybody know which is the current scheme ? Or maybe its 1/2 & 1/2 ?
.
Quick reminder for those with a dish on the wall, B-25C recovery today at 1pm GMT (repeated on History +1 at 2pm).
Cheers…..
On our 101st Airborne forum tonight someone linked this site of a discovery said to have taken place in the 90’s in Russia of a FW-190 recover. Is this real or fake ?
Currahee !!!!!!!!!
