Does anyone know how far along BP926/G-PRIV is?

Agreed. Until that article was originally published I had no idea there was an intact example let alone one that flew. Amazing. There are some videos on YouTube which allow those of us who are geographically-disadvantaged to see and hear it display.

KurtB to paraphrase Spencer Flack, when you own and operate the only extant example of an aircraft you can fit it with whichever engine/prop/spinner/undercarriage etc. you like! :eagerness:

“Has he not already created half a dozen full-size Lancaster models that appear to be stunningly convincing?” He has! Plus another four!

April 2017 according to the title card, I posted before watching it.

Paul, I was Googling for Avian pictures and plans for a future model build and rediscovered the thread. After reading from the start I’d love to know: How’s it all going?

BTW my link to Avians, beyond falling for VH-UFZ thanks to a spread in Classic Wings Downunder way back when, is that my home- and current town is Whanganui, where NZ’s last Avian ZK-ACM met her untimely demise in 1974.

There are a handful of videos on YouTube of types like the Me210(?) and two-seat Fw190 being run at St Athan, when I learned their Stuka was started I was very disappointed that no-one seems to have filmed it. Or, rather, allowed their film to be uploaded.

Hearing a Jumo run is one aspect of an airworthy Stuka that I’ve been excited and curious about since childhood.

The current word is a year-and-a-half to two years.

DaveF68: DaveM2 may have more recent/accurate information, but Goodall says the R-4 WkNr.6234 is a 1992 Jim Pearce recovery while the R-2 WkNr.5709 was recovered in 1996 and went to “Royal Air Warbird Finders, England”.

Fantastic news! I’m not a massive fan of the type but I’m also not one of the pessimists who say it can’t be done: I love to read the updates especially when they’re of milestones like this. Bravo to all involved, and thanks Beermat for taking the time to share it with us!

Thanks for sharing Tony, I’d only seen Randy’s earlier video which was a slideshow of some photos – he posted about 50 great detail and overall images on Facebook.

Dave McDonald from Classic Wings magazine has confirmed with FHCAM and shared on a couple of other forums that the bulk of the project consists of R-4 WkNr.6234 – one of the former Sir Tim Wallis aircraft and that which was registered to Glenn Lacey as G-STUK – and minor parts from R-2 WkNr.5709.

The museum website now has a page for the Stuka: https://flyingheritage.org/Explore/The-Collection/Germany/Junkers-Ju-87-R-4-Stuka.aspx

Not at all Geoff, everyone deserves to see and hear it! Incredible she has her own engines.

For those unable to view the video, here are a couple of screenshots taken on my phone (apologies for the quality). She looks spectacular! I’ve seen one suggestion these are 235 Sqn colours.

“Registered as ZK-BCV (again) on 12/10/18.” – fantastic! I’m hoping my next work roster will allow me to get to Ardmore for that event, even if BCV stays in the hangar.
