    Sorry JDK I don’t know where the Rats are at Duxford, I didn’t see them in the Battle of Britain.

    Why not meet by the Catalina, surely nobody can miss that, it’s the one painted like a deck chair with tinted blisters.

    3 Mustangs flew over Oxford on 7th December, didn’t yoy see them 😉

    As I understand it you may well have an airworthy Hurricane down that way soon.

    As for G-HRLI, together with many Hurricane Restorations these days new tubes woodwork etc are needed, however much of the stainless steel plates and many other parts are reused during restoration. If anyone can breathe life into a Hurricane project such as this the Hawker Restorations are the people to do it, the next project to come from them will be the most authentic Hurricane seen to date and is an absolute beauty.

    I managed to get a Cessna 172 off and on the ground a few times at Gillespie Field San Diego a few weeks back.

    That sounds like it might not be a bad idea, I’ll be up for DX as well if things go according to plan.

    Must be the same as repainting a P51 in RAF markings in the UK, most people would think it was yet another Spitfire rather than it’s more beautiful and refined American counterpart :p

    I’m going to try my best to be there on the 15th, I’ll have a Mustang shirt on and probably a beer in hand 😉

    No photos of G-DEMH then? shame.

    Nice to see JJ with her guns installed and the new aerial, getting better all the time.

    Had a look at the Catalina today, all jacked up in the hanger and looking a whole lot better, wheels off, fabric surfaces off and an army of engineers working on it, the plan looks to be to get it finished in 2 or 3 weeks and ferry it to Israel.

    As an aside, anyone know what the 2 Tucano’s were at North Weald for today? Unfortunately I couldn’t stop long enough to have a coffee in the Squadron to find out.
