I’ve posted this pic before, but I think it fits here too. Here is my Tiger with the unique name: CAT 😉
You can’t say that the name CAT is as original as Brussels isn’t it Comet , but …. euh 😮

Maybe on a longer term, but this time I also want to learn about the history of these interesting planes.
But you never know …. 😉

I like the new version. But that may only be because I never saw the old one. 😮

Thanks guys. I may find some more info with those serials. At least a good start! 🙂
Cheers,

Yes, you are not the only one who would love to see the Brussels museum Hurricane MKII in it’s original BAF sheme. 😎
Thanks for the correct serial Paul. The photo is of such poor quality that I couldn’t read it properly. Any thoughts about the serial of the other 2 BAF Hurricane MKII’s?

I’ve never contacted BAHA before. Maybe this quest is a good reason to do so.
It’s strange to see that so little is known about (what I believe) is a important historic aircraft in the history of the BAF.
Thanks guys.

Hey srpatterson,
As you have experienced, you just can’t trust fathers (in law) to take pictures. I also learned this lesson the hard way.
See some of the beauties my father took during his first (and last) indoor photosession with a digital camera:

Just to be shure about one thing guys, I would of course feel a lot better if this great plane would be preserved as a flying plane. I can’t disagree that the aircraft may have a bit of an uncertain future.
I still hope the new owner has good facillities to display the aircraft and that it is kept in top condition. Maybe it’s wishfull thinking, but it they take good care for her, it might fly again in 2020??? 😮
And yes, that Mosquito story is a sad one … 🙁
Greets,

The registration for that Bucker in the first pic is G-BJAL
Thanks F3Hadlow! I’ll start to google with this info!
And that thing marked 97+04 is a Putzer Elster B with registration G-APVF. 😉
Cheers,
J.V.
That was quick F3Hadlow. It’s nice to see some more of your great pics here! That first shot showes a very nice Bucker Jungmann. Does someone know its registration? I love the sheme on that plane and want to learn more about it.
Thanks! 🙂

Is the restoration of the Yak 1 realy making such a great progress? I’ll get in line for that picture update of HAC site. 🙂

Any idea who the new owner is in Guam and (where) will it be placed on display?
It’s always a bit sad when a historic plane like this is going to be grounded, but at least it’s future is certain and it will be preserved (static) for the future.
J.V.
Nice ones again F3Hadlow. Certainly those pilatus planes are beautifull! Where there any other Irish aircraft at the show?
J.V.
Ooops. I hope this is better Damien. 😮
