Sigh. At least it made for entertaining reading for a while!

The prospect of a flying Jaguar is an exciting one, although I’ve no knowledge about its complexity as a type it strikes me as a bit more work than a MiG or Aero. Jagfans: would maintenance be comparable to the Mig-21, F-4 etc?

It really is wonderful news, although I’m in the wrong part of the world to appreciate it in person. Bring on Legends (coverage)! And well done to everyone involved, this is a stunning machine.

The Facebook page’s moderator also does not seem to appreciate it, going by some nasty back-and-forth on the P-43 post this morning. It’s always great to see more photos from the organisation (despite not being a P-43 fan) but such behaviour really makes it hard to support the group.

Argosies: (…) One in New Zealand

Although not in a museum it is still in a kind of active service: http://www.stuff.co.nz/marlborough-express/68665913/argosy-cafe-takes-off-with-new-pilot, http://www.stuff.co.nz/marlborough-express/news/10565152/Big-plans-for-Argosy-Restaurant-soon-to-take-flight

So I’m guessing this thread is (meant to be) about an F-4F Phantom, as opposed to an F4F Wildcat??

So, I’m guessing there’s no new news on the Jag restoration? :sleeping:

That’s a very pretty Waco, Matthias. Thanks for sharing! And my fingers are crossed for the paperwork for ‘OON and the Spitfire.

If any forum members manage to catch up with Our Man At Meiers, could you please buy him a drink from me in thanks for his hard work on the forum?

I thought so but wasn’t entirely sure. Thank you!

What a wonderful gesture, and so appropriate! Bravo, Seafuryfan! I love seeing any new post from Matthias and following the goings-on at my favourite German restoration shop.

Forgive my ignorance – who is this pilot? I see so many photos of him in this thread with a smile on his face and a friendly wave. I like him already! He always brings a smile to my face.

Love the banking shot of the Spit!

Seconded! A glorious shot. Watching that display it was hard to believe she had less than three hours “on the clock” since second restoration. It was amazing to see!

That explains it. And what a great job they’ve done! I’ve never seen a Dutch Beaver.

I just realised that could be taken the wrong way…

As the museum posts here on occasion, may I ask would the museum ever consider adding another Second World War bomber type to the collection or even embarking on an audacious restoration of something like the Wellington remains?

The museum to me is a incredible achievement and I’ve always admired the sound business footing it is done on.

I think the “audacious restoration” is already well underway, that of Just Jane being returned to flight. That said, the idea of restoring the Wellington….perhaps to taxying condition…would be incredible and something I’m sure forumites would contribute to.

Mothminor – that wouldn’t be the Forum’s own Moggy, by any chance? 😉

The drop tank didn’t look so nice when it was driven past a group of us on the back of a truck, along with some other dinged and splintered bits. I arrived back at the field – having been away for an hour so – about ten minutes after the incident. Disappointing for me as that morning had been my first time seeing it….so I still haven’t seen it fly!

Great photos Peter! Hopefully you don’t mind me slipping in one of my own to help showcase the late(…?) drop tank for Daz:

What a lovely bunch of machines, thanks for sharing! The Beaver in particular looks really good.
