    Thanks for the update Grayfly!
    I’m looking forward to seeing the CR.42 and Gladiator fly.

    TFC should be congratulated on all its hard work on the Beaufighter so far.
    I’m sure if it does leave the TFC stable, its new owners will be extremely grateful for all the restoration work carried out thus far.

    Don’t worry about the pix TT.
    Your write-up on the JP makes interesting reading though 🙂

    All the best! Mark

    There is a Piston Provost based in NZ, painted up in SOAF colours.
    Looks the business 🙂

    There’s a Scout/Wasp maintenance company based at Thruxton, perhaps they would be worth a go?

    If you come across any Jet Provost aeroplanes, could you photograph them for me? 🙂

    Airwork had a long association with the FRU at Hurn, and also held the maintenance contract for the FRADU (Fleet Requirements and Air Direction Unit) at Yeovilton between 1972 and 1983.

    Many Fleet Air Arm pilots learnt to fly with RAF 1FTS based at Linton-on-Ouse.
    There’s a Mk.3A Provost in the FAAM’s Cobham Hall storage facility that represents this.

    It is WJ992, an ex-Bedford airframe. I’ll see if I can find a pic 🙂

    Wouldn’t it great if the FAAM brought its Seafire XVII outside for Air Day in 2006, and park it next to KASX 🙂

    I should think that it will outside for the forseeable future.

    Seeing Kennet Aviation’s Seafire in the air, plus an early post-restoration flight of Hunter GA11 G-GAII. 🙂

    I’d guess that it may go back into Navy Uniform, given that most of the other TFC machines are in military schemes.
    That said, civilian yellow is absolutely fine 🙂

    Possibly the late Paul Morgan with his Corsair, Fury and/or P51D?

    Well, nearly 3 years on from that statement, it looks like G-NATY is about to take to the air again soon.
    She’s just undergone an re-paint into accurate the accurate Reds scheme she wore while on the team in the late ’70’s, and I believe was due for engine and runway taxy tests this week.

    It certainly looks lovely in its new paint job. The new owners are I’m sure very proud 🙂

    XM693 is mounted on a pole at Aerostructures Hamble, the site of the old Folland works.
