    Hi Black Knight,I believe part of it was sold to Guido Zuccoli here in Australia as part of a spares package, Guido purchased a couple of containers of various parts to assist in the three rebuilds here and I remember seeing a centre section painted red with a wing the same colour and blue & red stripes on the tip.Since the ex German aircraft had no stripe I assume this was G-FURY,cheers,Pete

    Hi Phil,interesting sideline,I work for National Jet Systems here in Darwin.The funny thing is National Jet is owned by a company registered in the U.K.called Cobham,apparently started by Sir Alan Cobham and specialising in inflight refueling and special mission equipment like airborne coastal surveillance,small world,eh!!!Cheers,Pete

    Hi all,on the WIX registry VX309 & VZ345 are listed as T-20’s and are both in storage as spares holdings for the RNHF.Lee,you may be best able to answer this,are both still reasonably intact?VZ 345 is supposed to have a twisted fuse from a landing incident,is this severe enough to prevent restoration?Are both stripped of all parts?Just asking out of curiosity as I feel a lottery win coming up soon.Best regards,Pete

    Hi all,interesting,I thought all the ex-German target tugs were T-20’s or has this had some cosmetic alterations?Either way,a little rumour in this part of the world is that it is coming downunder shortly,YIIIPPPEEEE!cheers,Pete
