The one at Tangmere is another T-33,ex-French AF.It was still there in summer 2003 when I last visited,and they were carrying out restoration work on it which suggests it’s thiers rather than being on loan,but don’t know for sure.IIRC

I thought it was on loan from the USAF Museum along with all the other MDAP ex Sculthorpe aircraft.

Stuff the Spitfire, look at the beautiful little white beastie in the background 😀

Now there’s a thing.

De Cadinet operated it, it has been owned by another person who’s name has been mentioned on this thread for some years. This person came up to the hanger once to see what his money had been spent on when the aircraft was having it’s annual.

Since the restoration completion in 1990 this machine has been flown for only a short time it spent a number of years tucked up in the back of another hanger, but at least it was kept clean. From memory it only flew regularly between 1996 and 2001, although it made a brief appearence in 94/95 and suffered a cooked engine into the bargain. The poor old thing could do with some TLC.

I remember that one passing through Duxford, I understood that it went off for restoration in America, but have not seen anything of it since, would be about 85 / 86 I would think. Was it 44-90438?
