Beauforts.

There the remains of a few dotted around Australia including the AWM completed example now at Mitchell ACt, Ralph Cussak is very advanced with his example and it should fly withinn a few years , he also has about 3 nose sections being restored. There is a largely complete example at Oakey MOAA unrestored as well as parts at Point Cook I believe as well as a Beaufighter.

A lot of Beaufort material was extracted from Tadji PNG in the 70s and this has been distributed to UK (Hendon – sole Bristol A/C left) , the US and Australia – exact details and numbers are difficult but there are more that you might think

Hi All

I agree with Col Rohr from the commonwealth of Maine.

The scan cleans up with photoshop as a much abused photo of a belly landed P47 in europe I have in my collection – one seems to fit over the other perfectly – why do people try this sort of rubbish.

Col Pays Scone NSW Australia early1980s

My First one was Col Pays Spit at Scone NSW in the early 1980s after watching it being rebuilt over a few years and it was something to see as we were all anticipating it for so long. It still flies although sadly Col has sold it and it now flies out of Temora Museum. It is now in a Grey Nurse Color scheme with Shark mouth and looks tremendos.
