BBC Radio stated the next of kin had been informed, but i see according to Propstrikes newspaper link they are still trying to trace them, so apologies from me for quoting names from the website.

Thats great news for the museum, and for the replica.

By the way, great choice for ‘aircraft of the month’ for April :applause:

Just a quick update on the museums P-51 Mustang project canopy. Despite overseas detachments and work commitments the museums friends at RAF Lakenheath are making really good progress with its rebuild as the photos show. And as ever we are extremely grateful for there continued support.

I think the stumbling block with that one is the asking price.

Thanks for clarifying it to be a Centaurus.

Interesting picture of the centaurus, I have seen that one before but can’t remember any of the details from the time. Where is/was that centaurus? Tempest perhaps?

Yes i photographed it at Barry Parkhouse yard a couple of years ago. Not sure what it was from, but top left of the pic is also a Typhoon or Tempest fuselage frame.

Pause for a moment to consider what can be achieved with a small budget but huge volunteer effort. Well done again to DAS.

Indeed so. Looking after seven big airliners and all of them outside, some for approaching forty odd years is an amazing achievement especially in the UK climate.

Thanks for the pics.

Rob

Thats odd. The last few seconds of it arriving were misssing when i first watched that clip :apologetic:

But i’m glad it all went well.

Rob

Great updates as ever. The museum goes from strength to strength as regards running and working airframes. Love it !
