    Swiftly decreasing price..

    I see the Swift is now down to £50k. It’s like an auction in reverse…

    I see the Swift is now down to £250,000… I guess the next decrease will be down to £125,000.

    In reality, I don’t think anyone will be interested until she gets below £20K!

    WH588

    Great News!!!

    Does anybody know what is happening to the old Paul Morgan Sea Fury G-EEMV / WH588 that was exported to Sweden with an aim of an eventual return to flight?

    Windscreen

    Sven, did you manage to get hold of the windscreen blue prints so that I could get new units made up?

    P.S. – Front tyres are looking a tad flat…

    eBay Beer Can

    So, it looks as though no one could help… As it happens I’ve just been successful in obtaining a large beer can lens off eBay for £82 🙂 So time will tell if it’s as good as they say!

    Fouga, that picture is spot on and she looks better than I imagined! I wonder if Aeroventures looks as complete?

    Vampire NF.10’s WM729 & WP255

    From what I gather there are two Vampire survivors. One at the Dehavilland Museum and the other one at Aeroventure.

    Does anyone have pictures of these aircraft in their current condition?

    Appologies for the slight thread drift…

    What ever happened to the aircraft after this? Whas she ever repaired?

    F86

    Thread drift set to ‘ON’ 😉

    If what you say is true, this is interesting as well as sad, as it probably means this aircraft no longer survives.

    Would be nice to have more ex-RAF examples in the UK other than just Cosford!

    Yes but there was no verification that this example ended up in America. Someone must know I guess. Probably the best people to ask are that at the farm in which this aircraft was stored..

    Anyway, slight thread drift – back to the Sioux

    Made from bits…?

    After looking at NEAM’s mystery Sioux/Bell 47 yesterday I have found that the makers plate has been removed at some point. Does anyone know of any other stamps that could be on the airframe?

    The pedels and instrument panel are both Agusta/Bell in origion but these could be off a spare knackered airframe, possibly even ASOL. We need to find some part numbers…

    XB733 – I take it this airframe has still kept herself illusive then! Would be nice to find and have her back in 92 Sqn colours…

    Sioux Locations

    Looking again, it seems that XT148 came from the IHM at Weston-super-Mare and XT236 came from the Middle Wallop dump.

    I’m pretty sure your thoughts on G-ASOL and one of the military Sioux’s are correct Dave. At one point maybe NEAM were to get ASOL but instead got another airframe. Maybe the airframe had already gone somewhere else or maybe the military example was in better condition…

    Still doesn’t answer where G-ASOL ended up though…

    It will be interesting to find this information out and finally put this one to bed!
