Wasn’t there an Ouragan as Gate Guardian at Abbeville? Or is it long, long gone?

Nice pictures. Different (but interesting) parade of aircraft and lovely cars. No better way of spending a weekend.
Thanks for posting.
Bill

Great pictures. I particularly liked the pics of the Delfin in the rain! Also the vintage light sport aircraft from last week.
Thanks for continuing to post Yak Rider

Yes, Aeronca 100 ZK-AMW ex VH-UXV, VQ-FAJ

I posted coverage on it elsewhere in this forum.

Thanks. OK now I remember, just didn’t make the connection.
Bill

Nice Pics at all 3 events Martin. Loved the Stinson Reliant. Thanks for posting, always good to see some historic light aircraft.

Roborough -sounds very much like a Valetta! There is one stored at Cosford.

Yep! I thought it was just the fuselage in “Deep Storage” Does anything actually emerge from deep storage or is it a euphemism for ‘on the way to the fire dump’

I don’t want to sound unduly critical of the RAFM. The have done something’s really well like building up and displaying the collection of WW1 exhibits but they have been sadly neglectful in many areas. In my opinion the Halifax SHOULD have been restored, as that was obviously the original intention. Other museums have done much better with a fraction of the budget of the RAF Museum.

Bill -there are a few Jaguars around -some drawings -the RAFM has a wing on display at the Midland Air Museum with another in store . So yes it would be possible.

Thankyou David. Just seems like a neat idea. A Siskin recreation (wooden fuselage variant) similar to say the Dolphin that the RAFM produced, using whatever authentic parts available. Shouldn’t be too difficult and would fill a significant ‘hole’ in the RAFM collection

Returning to the OP’s original question: The Canadian Aviation & Space Museum in Ottawa lists a Perseus X in its list of ‘Aircraft Powerplants’. I’m not sure if this this list is current, and I’ve never seen it or a picture of it.
