    Nice to know ozplane and planemike! So I can be certain about one Ercoupe VX147 which was evaluated for the RAF in 1947. Do you know for which role it was evaluated by the RAF? (Trainer, Tactical aircraft?)

    Also thanks Scorpion for those USAF and USN additions. What was their task with the USAF/USN?

    Thanks,

    Stieglitz

    All I wish is to be able to go there. I’m shure the show will be worth it to make the trip from Belgium. I’m shure it will be great. As far as my wish list of aircraft; I have none. But I do like suprises! 😉

    Yes TT, it is owned by Bruno Van Wayenberghe which flew as number 4 with the blades in 2006. He is the owner of Extraviation Ltd which sells Extra acrobatic planes at EBKT here in Belgium. He told me last year that he thought about selling G-BRLV but I don’t think he has put it up for sale at this point. I think G-BRLV is still here in Belgium. Bruno also owns and flies a Stampe SV4b OO-ESV at EBKT.

    I may be wrong (I usually am) but the Harvard was for sale recently in one of the free newspapers. Havent been to North Weald for ages (apologies to all that know me….I will be back!).

    Len as I remember was killed in a Yak-55 accident in Russia. Always remember him for having different coloured shoes.

    Hello,

    (better late than never …)

    If you are talking about Harvard G-BRLV Texan Belle (previously Night train), then I can say that this machine has been Based for since 2002 at EBKT in Belgium. It hopped to North Weald from time to time for maintenance. I last saw it in Belgium standing outside the extraviation hangar at EBKT in August 2007. It may still be standing in the Extraviation hangar at this point, but I can not confirm this for shure.

    G-BRLV at EBKT in Belgium:

    Seen here on 21st august 2004:

    And on the 18th june 2005 also at EBKT:

    I hope this is the one you refer to.

    Hello Mark,

    Someone on another flightsim forum seems to have found a picture from it which should date from the late fifties. Take a look here.

    I understand our canadian friends. If I would live in Canada, I would also hate to learn about the possible departure of a Mosquito. It is a rare bird and has a historical link to the country. But please take a closer look. If this aircraft could have a better future in another country, why not. It could mean that we may see another mossie project to airworthy condition and that would be great news for any historic aviation fan all over the world.

    But the move of a historic plane sometimes causes emotions to many people. There are several examples of emotions here on the forum about aircraft that have departed britain to have a new life far away.

    The most important for me is that an aircraft has a certain future and the TLC (and $$$$) it needs to survive.

    Look at my favourite plane: the Stieglitz. I addore the Stieglitz G-STIG as I had great times with it while it was here in Belgium. I was very sad (heartbroken) to see it go. But it now lives at Old Warden and is kept in flying condition by a great group of people. This brings great joy to me. I know this aircraft is in very good hands and that is all that mathers to me.

    So if a mossie could go to a new owner who wants to invest in it and is truely an enthousiast, I would not know why someone would be against a consideration to sell if the aircraft is gathering dust at this point.

    Just a thought.

    I think another smal museum is our local FAS museum (Flanders Aviation Society) at Wevelgem (EBKT) Belgium. It is situated in the bacment of the control tower. It has a Fouga mafister cocpit section and some other historic aviation things.

    Here is there website but this is only available in dutch:
