I feel that by asking time and again what has happened to various Warbird wrecks and speculating on why something has happened will only serve to drive away those closely involved with the various collections in the UK, still what do I know, suppose I could always jack all this in and just continue to focus my efforts on a small UK based collection.

Glad to see you have the Colt back again particularly with the weather being so awful over the weekend, we decided against flying our stuff over the weekend as the runway was so wet and the local viz so bad.
Lets hope this coming weekend is better!!!

Very interesting, I look forward to seeing some pics in the future. Any idea what condition 44-13521 is in?

Contributors to this forum, are you a pilot? What do you fly? What’s your three favourite aeroplanes (that you have flown)?

It is rumoured that I am a pilot, however I’m not sure whether anyone on this forum has ever witnessed such a feat. However to date I have only ever flown 3 aircraft and all of those have been 172’s. I have however had a go from the second seat in a Harvard and a Stearman (which I think is the most wonderful way to get around the skies!!).
Maybe one day I may see if I can have a go at flying something other than a 172 but I’m not sure whether the insurance companies can stand the strain (or the aircrafts owner come to that).
Question is, can I get a DA in a 172, and will anybody watch??

Sorry to cause your heart attack this morning Yak11Fan 😮 . These could be rumors I heard so that is why I ask if it is up for sale. Did you notice the question-mark????

I am 100% shure that I read that Mr. Hammond wants to sell this mustang in the (distant?) future. My guess is that he will sell the Mustang but only when his other P51D Mustang project has reached a further stage of restoration (or even flies).

So, Mr. Hammond will not be without a mustang. I hope you can recover from this shock Yak11Fan and hope you get well soon! 😉

I’m interested to find out where you read this. I think the best thing is to watch this space and see what happens. At what stage of the project do you think he will sell? Any idea how the project is progressing? I’d be interested to see any pictures.

Isn’t Maurice Hammonds P51 up for sale?

What!!!!!!! Up For Sale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know the weather was bad at the weekend and the old boy couldn’t fly, but there was no talk of him selling!!!!! It’s a conspiracy I tell you just designed to stress me out on a Monday morning. 😮 😮
This is how rumours start you know. 😮 :rolleyes:

What’s that odd triangular thing in the last pic????? Must be a tent or something as it can’t be an aircraft it’s way too ugly!!!!!
