Thanks, I’ll keep an eye out for that.

RE: Defiant replica

Hi, sorry to enter this discussion a bit late.
The wreck found in the Peak District was not used in the Defiant recontruction after all. That has been set aside as a display item in its own right.
The website has pictures from the last couple of years over which the Defiant was built. It has a wooden internal structure with Alcad skins, so it has a real metal finish. The Balliol is getting the same treatment and I have just learnt that one of the Battle of Britain Film Hurricane replica, now in New Zealand, is to get new wings using a similar method.
The turret is ex-Defiant and had to be straightened out somewhat before new glazing could be made and fitted. Original wheels have also been used but other than that, the rest is new.

RE: A36 Still at Duxford

Following some advice from others, I went to DX on the Friday before Legends. Good and bad weather that day but almost everything arrived for the show, plus some practice routines, including Steve Hinton in the A36 and later Stephen Gray went up in it too. I too, hope it does some more flying, perhaps for the September show. Would love to see it on the grass at Old Warden but perhaps I’m just dreaming…

RE: Flying P-40’s

Hi,
I’m a P40 fan myself. We’re luck to have two on the UK Airshow circuit in recent years, an E and a M model.

Try the following sites for info on restored/flying P40s and history etc:
