Eric Vormezeele indead had a Lysander and a Bollingbroke (or what was left of it). I’m not sure, but I think he traded them for a Tiger Moth.
The two planes were then again swapped for an airworthy Skyraider (F-ZVMM) that later became OO-FOR.
G-BWUE
I also heard that the Buchon normally won’t fly again. But off course you never know (let’s hope it will once!!)
Some of the vormezeele planes are for sale:
T-28 project
Nord (they say in flying condition, but it hasn’t flown for years)
Stearman project
see http://www.planecheck.com for more info
There indeed was no SOT aircraft in the hangar, but SOT will probably have some difficulties as there will now be a lack of hangarspace.
Thank you very much to all of you.
There all very nice
I also had the luck to fly with David in his Belfair some years ago.
It looks great after its overhaul don’t you think? 🙂
Some to get started


Sorry for the low quality.
BTW: these two are currently for sale
Where will TA805 be based? (sorry if this question has already been asked)
Owner is
RARE AERO LTD
PO BOX 83
JERSEY
JE4 8PW
CHANNEL ISLANDS
Sorry don’t know the history
I guess the following will do:
OO-DLL Airbus A.33B4-203 was hit by a surface to air missile as it approached Baghdad International Airport. The hydraulics were jammed so the controls of the plane didn’t work anymore.
The pilots managed to turn just using the engines. They even had to make a go-around.

Is that the Shuttleworth Jungmann? Must be such a fun aircraft to fly…
No, It’s OO-OLE during its delivery flight to a new owner in Ireland. It’s now registered as G-CDJU.
I believe the picture was taken by Bert Kuyper.

Looks stunning so far.
Do you also have images of the Tipsy Trainer?

Otherwise, mine is the 29998 since 1990.
So you own an UPF-7?
Where is it based?
I’m pretty sure i saw an ex german Bronco display at North Weald in 199eightish, with a UK civil reggie near the tail. I have also been aware of that distict shape in the sky more than once, was it different to the DX based ones?
The Duxford Bronco (owned by Invicta Aviation) have only flown on their ferry-flight from Germany to England. That was their last flight since.
The owner told me that he has already done some fast taxi runs during September and just needs to do a little more paperwork before the first flight.
The restoration of the other one will start by the end of this year.
The Bronco you saw at NW was probably F-AZKM, this is currently the only airworthy Bronco in Europe
One of them is potentially airworthy, but as I understand there is still some paperwork needed.
So both of them haven’t flown anymore since they arrived.
