Are there any active Hawker Biplane restoration projects? I believe there was an Audax project in the works a while back.

These would have been Valettas of 30, 84 & 114 Sqns, and yes there are pictures of Valettas with their ‘Stripes’ in Wings over Suez.

Didn’t Messerschmitt pay Handley-Page royalties for the use of HP slats on the 109 through the war years? I believe the payment was made through Swiss bank account (there’s a surprise!)

Got to love those Chiltons! and a thrill to see a picture of the Dessoutter flying. Thanks for sharing Martin.

Yes, I remember the Sea Hornet at Plymouth. I was in front of a bombed out church right opposite Devonport High School and like you I saw it many times from the top of a bus, on the way home to St Budeaux. This would have been 1955-60.
I also recall all the weird things that were catapulted into the river generally from HMS Ark Royal or Eagle as part of Plymouth Navy Days, including an engineless Sea Hornet on at least one occasion.
Happy days!
