    I think you mean the Blackburn B.2
    There is one flying example at OW and owned by BAe.
    I think one possibly two fuselages left too

    I don’t think it is usual but was probably an oversight. The underwing is probably more permanently applied and easier to pain it and sort the tail out later

    A great project, many congratulatios to them for this fine achievement. It may not be the ‘real deal’, but I sure can appreciate the time, money and passion that has gone into it. Hats off to them.

    One thing I noticed though, is it having an identity crisis?
    If you watch from 16:33 you can clearly see the reg under the port wing reads: F-PMOZ, yet, 10 seconds later a view of the tail shows the reg F-WMOZ!
    Does anyone know why?

    F-W is for test flying – alot of the Airbus aircraft have F-W before delivery)
    F-P is homebuilt (post certification/testing)

    A brilliant trip down memory lane for me.
    Thank you for sharing.

    My Dad and I used to go very regularly – especially as my Nan lived not that far away. It was always part of a weekend at Nan’s. Up early Saturday, packed lunch in a bag with a flask of coffee, quick stop at the newsagents for a Puzzler for Dad and a Commando comic for me, (still have most of them), then onto the Routemaster working the 140 service and then in for the day… Many, many happy hours spent on the QB…

    Wonderful pictures as ever. Many thanks for all that made it possible for us to see and enjoy these pictures.

    Am I alone in wanting to see at least the Hurricane in these colours – even if for just a brief period?

    I would tend to agree – the tower looks very much like Henlow’s.

    Has anyone considered the fact Johnnie Johnson may have been offered and turned it down?

    Saw the “Goose” last year on my long weekend visit to America. As folks say, she is impressive. Even the model of her alongside is quite some size. Not sure if I put my pics on flickr or just Facebook.

    Thanks – never seen one in the “nude” so to speak.
    I wonder what will happen to these airframes and remains with the closure of part of the airfield?

    Thanks for sharing the pictures.
    ‘KBO looks a bit sad and little progress looking at the dust.
    What is the frame in the second shot on the left?
