    Nope, the guy in the back had been in that Mustang before a little while ago.

    mmmmm, my original assumption was based upon the Mustang hiding in the AN2. Do you think I may have met you previously then?

    Aha, I may take a wonder over to see if I can spot Janie, maybe she’s been hiding inside the AN2 :p

    Handy that it had that big green ring around it, must have made it easier for the Dak driver to see it.

    Nice one

    The extent of the dismantling was eventually rather more extensive than just the outer wings.

    It would be rally handy for the IWM as it looks as though somebody has already saved them the bother of hacking the wings off.

    1) In order to fly the aircraft must meet modern safety requirements, this means that a 1940’s structure must be tested and proven, this may actually cost more than to produce a new component. Thus the ‘new build’ Spitfires and Hurricanes should be accepted as such and not given false provenace by including c/n or makers plates from long lost crash sites.

    I’m sorry I may have missed something here, could you please tell me which Spitfires and Hurricanes are ‘new build’?

    Very sad situation regarding that aircraft, it was used for filming, when filming was completed the film company left the DC3 at Ipswich airport where it then started to incur costs. By the time the owners had caught up with it the gales of 87 had attacked the aircraft causing substantial damage to the tail and one wing rendering it a long way from being airworthy. Glad to see it’s moved on now, lets hope it can be restored.

    This came up a couple of weeks ago and it seems that it’s gone up to Aeroventure at Doncaster.

    I’d be interested to know how complete it is as I was under the impression that Aces High had it for a while and stripped it of it’s engines and a few other bits before it went to Parham.

    Nope, there is no room in the hanger, I’d have noticed if there was more than one in there.

    If they displayed without landing at Redhill they would not be allowed to carry a passenger.
