I sure do hope they gift her. Would be a crime to destroy it 🙁

recover it!

The Student 2 had the Student 1’s Marbore 6 replaced by a more powerful Marbore 8.

Don’t you mean Marboré II replaced by the Marboré VI? I’ve never heard of an Marboré VIII

from the wix thread:
She is in good condition. No corrosion. I just replaced the wiring in the left wing. New Battery. Brakes have been changed to hydraulic from the original air brakes, but that was years prior to us having it. Right now shes needs MAGS overhauled, one keeps failing her check, and I have a source in Haywood, Ca. The brakes need to be reverse bled currently, which should be done this week. Prop AD is due. New interior ( Grey ) , I had plans to repaint the aircraft with a top coat of the original silver with yellow training stripes. She runs up just fine currently, even with the bad mag.

She really is a great aircraft, but we are a WWII flying museum, and she is postwar.

Asking price is very negotiable. You name it, make it fair, and if you want to trade a plane, or parts and acsh, that can be worked. Just really an additional aircraft sitting around currently that Id like someone to take care of.

Willing to pack in shipping container for those who intend on having it shipped somewhere ot overseas.

IIRC the Vulcan was “borrowed” from Halton and immersed in a tank on the James Bond set at Pinewood. If you look closely you will see that the vertical tail is missing. I’m sure somebody knows the serial.

They submerged a real Vulcan? I’ve always read they build a full scale model on the ocean floor in the Bahama’s. The corroded remains can still be seen.

yikes:eek: Was it recovered?

Secondly, I wouldn’t like to think where we’d have been after the Battle of Britain had it not been for the Poles, Czechs, Australians, Canadians, Americans, South Africans, French, New Zealanders etc etc and I apologise profusely for missing any other of Britain’s brothers in conflict.

The Belgians :p
