It’s not about the tailwheel. If you hear they used wings, tail and front fuselage of other furies to make this one, What exactly is left of WG655? Nothing. The front fuselage/cockpit section was right there, so I don’t see why they would take another section. Now we have an aircraft that is sold and marketed as being fury “WG655” while there isn’t any part of that serial in it! Even worse, front fuselage, tail, wings of WG655 still exist in other places. If I buy a specific serial and I research it’s history, I would be very disappointed to find out I bought something it isn’t. Why not be honest and sell it as the serial the front fuselage actually is? I find this deceit criminal.
The aeroplane was ripped apart when it hit 2 trees in a field, its hardly suprising that major components have had to be changed in its rebuild, as I say, the world is hard enough as it is and now apparently those involded are deceitful criminals, I find this utterly ridculous, how many warbirds do you think would be flying now if major components were not changed during rebuild? By that I am talking about the countless aircraft restored over the years that have been completely reskinned, resparred, new longerons installed, new fuselage frames and wing ribs installed. Many of these aircraft looked pretty complete when rebuild started so most will think that it was a strip down and clean up. Where are the next batch of restorations going to come from, sadly there are very very few totally complete immaculate warbirds sitting in barns waiting to be found, but hey, why bother!!!!!!!!!!!
