Mustang, mmmm now wait a minuite the one they are supposed to be getting does fly, oh well we’d better keep that one flying and rebuild the other one as well.
Sorry I’m all out of Teddies now, I’ve just thrown a years supply around at work, what do Occupational Health Departments do anyway??????
Money for old rope if you ask me.
Jet Heritage had two civil registered Sea Hawks G-JETH and G-SEAH. G-JETH is now with Peter Vallance and G-SEAH is now for sale in America having been part of Wally Fisk’s collection. At one point there was a plan to fly at least one of these but that all fell apart after Michael Carlton’s death.
Preservation was not the number one prority back then, it has really only been in the last 30 – 40 years that the preservation scene has built up as we know it today, with noteable exceptions such as the Shuttleworth Collection.
WJ288, the ex Southend Sea Fury was under restoration for a while as G-SALY before going on loan to the IWM at Duxford. It sat there for a few years and at some point was bought by Warbirds of Great Britain who sold it to an American owner and it was exported in 1990. Last heard of it was flying again as N15S (with a funny engine I believe) and owned by a David Peeler.
