“Reason for disposal: Completeness/Condition” – forgive my ignorance, does the RAF Museum not restore exhibits for display?

That was a fantastic article Elliot, bravo to yourself and the photogs – what a great look at the machine. I’m probably going to read it again this weekend.

Necrothread has become a zombie thread!

I’ve read in Geoff Goodall’s Warbirds Directory that an unidentified La-7 is being restored to fly in Russia for a private owner. Does anyone have any info on this project?

Also I may be a decade late but I just wanted to point out the immaculate La-9 in flanker_man‘s post is an La-11.

Be interested to know what’s happening with it?

Out of interest I have just gone to the Reevers Warbirds – Australia Facebook page. No activity since October last year with the advice they were selling their B-17 and A-26 inventory and changing the public FB page to a private group…which as of today has 103 members. I’ve applied to join as I’m curious about the various Spitfire projects registered to them and their principal. as well as the B-25.

A brilliantly-written article, insightful stuff from the pilot and some gorgeous photos. 

Eighteen(!!) years on from the start of this thread I see a close associate of Mark12 has uploaded some wonderful film from this airshow to YouTube:

Having followed Sir Peter’s WW1 passion since he imported the replica Camel in the late 1990s this was fantastic. To have such a look at TVAL’s workshop was not something I thought I’d ever get to see. The section on Wingnut Wings was bittersweet given what’s happened since this was filmed (I believe in 2019) but it was great to hear from some familiar names, ditto among TVAL’s pilot pool.
