Strange but True.

Bob Diemert, has rebuilt many aircraft over the years, BoB film Hurricane, an Aichi Val, a Griffon Firefly (fitted with Merlin), Zero, Mustang and numerous other projects, during this time he has gained a reputation of someone not to mess with!

The Former David Tallichet flew into the Cavanaugh Museum in Texas, so hopefully it wont be too long before it flies again. The ex Aces High and Jean Salis Casa’s are reported to be under restoration at Great Massingham in the UK.

Sadly on it’s way to a new life in New Zealand, the OFMC P40.

Lets just hope we see the TFC example flown more in 2004.

We are simply custodians of our aviation heritage – nothing more – it’s the future generations we need to consider rather than our short term interests. [/B][/QUOTE]

My sentiments exactly David, after all none us can take it with us.

Surely in this day and age museums should be able to pool their resources to ensure the future preservation of significant types.

Someone raised the point about the slightly open canopy-is this a good or a bad thing?I’ve seen slightly open canopies on a number of other outdoor aircraft in various places,my guess is that it’s done to air the cockpit and prevent it from becoming ‘sweaty’. [/B][/QUOTE]

After 20 plus years out in all weathers I think it may be too late to stop any internal corrosion. The aircraft should be fully restored and undercover, let the BPA have a go, they’ve done amazing work with the Defiant project.

I can well remember seeing this historic aircraft outside whilst devoid of any paint during the mid 80’s.

The first P63 N62822 arrived in the Uk in 1988, it crashed killing the pilot John Larcombe near la Ferte Alais in France 4/6/90.

I will try to post a photo when it was called Cobra.

(see Bruce’s post for its UK display debut)

I believe you have a very rare item in the book Mark 12, I wonder how many were made.

I can’t believe any publishers in the UK or US even knew that it existed.

This shot was taken many years ago, just after the museum opened.

Is the relocated museum open yet!

The late Robert Rudhall had two books published on the film.

Battle of Britain ‘The Movie’ ISBN 0-951832-9-6

and Battle of Britain film ‘The Photo Album. ISBN 0-9538539-3-4.

Also there was the original Leonard Mosley book ‘ Battle of Britain’ The making of a film’ It was available in both hardback and paperback.

Hdbk. SBN 29717909 (Weidenfeld & Nicolson)

Paperback. US card no. 72-84827 (Ballantine books)

Paperback UK 330 02357 8 (Pan)

Unfortunately Robert’s books, due to there limited print run are getting quite difficult to find. The Mosley Hardback has always been quite rare. But the good news is that the Pan paperback must of been printed in huge numbers as this is quite easy to find. Try Amazon or ebay.
