I think you will find its on the move very soon, possibly states side.
Mike J i think you will find its still under re-build in Sweden, originally the owner was set on a 3350 but is now swaying towards a centaurus and he may be in a position to make sleeves
watch this space.
“I THINK” You certainly do Graeme C but is it fact? only time will tell.
The engineer doing TFCs Centaurus and Hercs that takes some skill and dedication, a dying trade i guess piston engine re-builders.
Firebird only time will tell???:confused:
I bet the americans looking at this thread are shaking their heads in disbelief, what an un grateful bunch of moaners SOME are out there, look at the a/c Mr Grey has been able to bring to legends over the years outside of duxford based a/c.
A36, P51Ds SPITS HURRICANES B17 MOSSIE B25s F3Fs (G32) JU52
G59 LYSANDERS CONNIE A26s TF51 F8F YAK3 SEA FURIES FIREFLY
SWORDFISHs do i need to go on, without TFC you would not of seen many of the types listed unless you travelled the world.
Perhaps we have taken Mr Grey for granted over the years!!!
We are in fine form this morning Learning Slowly, what is Ashley going on about seeing a P38 this year ???.
Andrewman with due respect your recent postings about MIG 17 and Buccs flying plus Vulcans etc etc i think you need to get into the real world, as for restorations to fly (1) TFC Beau dream on
(2) TFC Sea Fury 😀 (3) TFC LA11:D (4) TFC F22 one day (5)TFC P47 one day (6)Seafire 17 so looking forward to it thanks for the pic Mark12 (7) Yak 1 that will be nice (8) Tempest 2 😀 that will do for now.
There is a very good centaurus re-builder at duxford well so the story goes, the only trouble his he wants 10 years per engine so the hurricane will have to make do with its merlin when it comes back.
Blue Volkswagen Camper van man thats a scene i can tell you,a quick rub of the chin and your in trouble often seen at DX going a bit rusty now and the camper van too.
“If it isn`t broke” now thats another old chestnut that rears its ugly head each year.
Forget about the P38 thats not going to happen but you never know something rare may well appear we will have to wait and see.
What an excellent idea or what about Teddy throwing contest, no
that was done last year on the saturday and it went along way as well i can tell you.
A Sea Fury i can remember TFC having one of those what happened to it,oh i remember it became a static at duxford.
One can only guess:)
How about another suprise from the states ???.
