Yes and Nigel is saying to Stuart “well we don’t usually do it as a five ship but if you want to bring the Hurricane in…..”

Yep – I agree. We were at Woodford in June 1996 and the Vimy was there. Never forget the weird sound those engines made.

I am with you on this one Moggy. The idea that the brakes fail and in order to avoid a collision with the hedge the stick is pulled back and the power applied for a short flight to a longer runway sounds astonishingly ridiculous to me.

He guys there are three flyable Hurricains here in North America

1 Neil Rose

2 David Prices old plane which just left for the East Coast

3 Lone Stars

plus their is two others that are underway Kermits and another person who I can’t remember maybe MarkV can.

The Neil Rose machine is now owned by Jerry Yagen, the David Price machine is now owned by Canadian Ed Russell. The Lone Star aircraft has not yet completed restoration. The third flyer is Tom Friedkin’s AE977 at Chino. The latter two were both restored and operated in the UK and were on the UK register so bringing them over here would not be a problem.

Steve, et al-

For those who would lament the loss of a Hurricane and a Spit to these or other shores, consider….we only have x amount of Spits in the States (and less of Hurricanes)

Woa there – you have 17 (yes seventeen) flyable Spitfires out there Mark!

Thats a quick count up by the way and not a chalenge to Daz etc 🙂

I am told there is an issue with one or more of restorations carried out in the US in that they are not built around the correct mainspar / centre assembly and would not be certifiable for flight in the UK as they do not have anything like the strength of the actual aircraft. Hardly worth bringing it / them across for taxi duty.

Moggy

There is only one flyable Hurricane restored in N America and that happens to be an extremely original airframe. If you wanted to bring it over here for filming you just crate it and float it across. You would not be required to ‘certify’ the aircraft unless it was to be permenantly based in the UK. Take the PofF Buchon in ‘Pearl Harbour’ for example.

So – its RM874 in ‘Convertiplano’ guise (VTOL experiment) in Brazil?

I only mention them as they are good candidates for survival. Anyway something quite awful seems to have happened to the mystery Spitfire, or rather its fuselage.

Thanks for posting those pictures. You have a wonderful place over there and some very beautiful aeroplanes. I know we will all want to see pictures of 441 in her new home when she arrives.

There is no limit to the number of pictures you can post and from now on its possible to post up to five in one go!
