The aircraft I believe was G-FOTO a Piper Aztec which had been used for many years as a camera ship. He hadn’t filed a flight plan
so when it was overdue a search wasn’t started.

G-FOTO is still about, the Aztec that John ‘Jeff’ Hawke apparently died in was G-OESX. The aircraft was recovered on 28th December 1991 and could well have been there for up to 2 months.

I’d be very suprised if G-ROBT has flown, most of the restoration was carried out in the South of England, not in Suffolk.

I have tried to add info on some of the aircraft listed on the WRG site, however they did not seem to be to interested, so I gave up.

Looking at both sites there are a number of errors with regard to the status of some of these machines, for example the Canadian Warplane Heritage aircrft is not airworthy, neither are BW881, Z5053, Z5207 or P2902, however AE977 is. This one looks a lot closer to the mark http://www.jacksonharrison.co.uk/BoB2/HurricaneSociety/hurricane_list.htm

At the end of the day whoever stumps up the $750,000 asking price can park it wherever they like.
